"Bring Flowers of the Rarest" (also known as the Fairest) is a Marian hymn written by Mary E. Walsh. It was published as the "Crowning Hymn" in the Wreath of Mary 1871/1883 and later in St. Basil's Hymnal (1889).[citation needed] The hymn is frequently sung during a May Crowning service, one of several May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary.[1][2]
