The little monogram in the centre consists of the either the first two letters of the Lady's name or the first letters of the angelic greeting made to her at the Annunciation: Ave Maria. That is to say, Hail Mary. Into the letter M is woven the holy cross, by which her Son accomplished the great deed.
The vestment set was a gift from my brother and, for years, was the only set I owned.
