It is the fifth mystery of Gloria. The celebration of the coronation is the complement of the festival of La Asunci?n. Mary is taken body and soul to heaven, and there she is exalted by the Lord, as Queen and Lady of Heaven and Earth. God has instituted Mary exalting her above all the Saints and Angels.
