Auspice Maria meaning -
This symbol consisting of the intertwined letters A and M, is called Auspice Maria , a monogram of the Virgin Mary. Auspice Maria is Latin for “Under the protection of Mary” and is commonly found in Catholic religious art, on churches, and inscribed on jewelry. It is sometimes (incorrectly) referred to or used as a stand-in for the salutation “Ave maria.”.
