+ S. MARIA MAGGIORE RBW - BASILICA WINDOWS SERIES 26 Who builds his nest in her leafage and lodges in her branches; 27 Who takes shelter with her from the heat and dwells in her home. + IN 358 AD IT SNOWED IN AUGUST Saint Mary Major, Our Lady of the Snows. A wonderful tradition here as Mary appeared to Pope Liberius (352-366) and told him she wanted a church built on Esquiline Hill. That she would leave a sign. Why? Because it would embrace and honor her eucharistic son, Jesus. The next morning the Holy Father rushed up the hill and there - in a perfect rectangle - snow had fallen. This wonderful miracle happened on a very hot morning on the 5th of August, 358 AD. + VIRGIN OF THE SNOWS Santa Maria Salus Populi Romani
+ VIRGIN SALUS POPULI ROMANI This icon, according to ancient tradition was painted by St. Luke, the apostle. (History dates it back to restoration in the 12th Century). It was painted on the top of Mary's table that she took with her when she went to live with John after the crucifixion. The table was believed built by her son, Jesus. + Sirach 14:20-26
+ TODAY, ITS WHITE ROSE PETALS St. Mary Major was built in the mid 5th century after the council of Ephesus had officially ruled on the divine origin of the virgin birth of Christ. It is one of the four patriarchal basilicas of Rome. On the feast day of Our Lady of the Snows, white rose petals are dropped from the ceiling of this church in honor of the event. + POPE FRANCIS, 3/13/13 To begin his first day as Pope, Francis went to the basilica of St. Mary Major with a simple bouquet of flowers. He carried it down the central nave from the back of the church to the front. He set the bouquet at tie feet of the image of Santa Maria Salus Populi Romani (Protectress of the Roman People), also known as the Virgin of Snows. He knelt in prayer for 10 minutes. On completion of prayer he paused before the tomb of Pope Saint Pius V (Battle of Lepanto) for more information see ROSARY - CHAPLET SHOPPING CART - MORE LINKS (use back button to return to this page) |
