The “Little Crown of the Blessed Virgin Mary” is a chaplet recommended by St Louis Mary de Montfort for morning devotion honoring the 12 stars on the crown of the Blessed Virgin, as described in Revelation 12:1: ‘A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman* clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.’
