List of canonically crowned images


The following list enumerates a selection of Marian, Josephian, and Christological images venerated in the Roman Catholic Church, authorised by a Pope who has officially granted a papal bull of Pontifical coronation to be carried out either by the Pontiff, his papal legate or a papal nuncio.
The prescription of the solemn rite to crown venerated images is embedded in the Ordo Coronandi Imaginem Beatae Mariae Virginis published by the Holy Office on 25 May 1981.
Prior to 1989, pontifical decrees concerning the authorization of canonical coronations were handwritten on parchment. After 1989, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments began issuing the specific recognition to crown a religious image, spelling out its approved devotional title and authorizing papal legate. Several venerated images of Jesus Christ and Saint Joseph have also been granted a pontifical coronation.
