RDPZ: OL PILAR , ZARAGOZA
“THIS PLACE IS TO BE MY HOUSE AND THIS IMAGE AND COLUMN SHALL BE THE TITLE AND ALTAR OF THE TEMPLE THAT YOU SHALL BUILD' 

FIRST KNOWN
APPARITION OF OUR LADY
  The traditional history of Our Lady del Pilar begins in the year 40 A.D. when the apostle Saint James the Greater entered Spain to convert the pagan country to Christianity. While traveling in the territory of Aragon, on the eve of January 2, the Virgin Mary appeared to him. Her words to him were, “This place is to be my house and this image and column shall be the title and altar of the temple that you shall build’ The Basilica del Pilar remains in that very spot today and houses the small wooden statue of Mary (15 in. tall) along with the pilar (over 6 feet tall) of jasper she gave him. The pillar is now encased in silver with a tiny portion revealing the jasper where pilgrims may kiss the pilar.

MYSTICAL CITY OF GOD
 (manifested to Sor Maria Agreda): In the Book, Mystical City of God, we are told that when Mary was in Ephesus, She was carried on a cloud by the angels to visit James in Zaragoza Spain. While they traveled, the angels built a small wooden image of Mary and a pillar of marble. Mary's message to James (from her son, Jesus) was to build a church on the very site where he stood when receiving the apparition. The jasper pillar and wooden image were to be on the main altar. All who traveled would be protected. 
+
A LIVING TABERNACLE
Why would Mary want a house built for her? To contain a tabernacle where her son, the Eucharistic Lord Jesus would reside. Remember, it was Mary who was a 'living tabernacle' protecting the infant Jesus in her womb before he was born!
+
 UNITY BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
Mary also related to James the message of her son, that he was to return to Jerusalem where he would be martyred. Mary was 54 years old, 12 years before her Assumption into heaven, and this apparition is believed the earliest of the visitations of Mary) The smbolism of 'OUR LADY OF PILAR' (or pillar), shows the unity between heaven and earth through Mary and the fortitude of the Catholic Church.+

AVE BEADS:   PATER BEADS:

The little 15 in. Zaragoza statue of Mary is carved from wood and sits on 6 foot pillar of marble but here, since we did not have the marble, we have capped each end of our 'wooden' pillars with faceted turquoise to symbolize Mary's blue! The Ave beads are of Jasper, one of the stones used in the new Jerusalem!

CAST FROM 
A RARE ANTIQUE 
This rare antique (see below) makes a wonderful center (Era: 1800 - 1850). Unable to read the writing on the back but is probalbly a pilgrimage souvenir  from the 'La Fiesta de Pilar' in Zaragoza as contains the words 'Recoerdo de --- (Record of).

PSALM 104:2-9 NAB
I 1 Bless the LORD, my soul! LORD, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, 2 robed in light as with a cloak. You spread out the heavens like a tent; 3 you raised your palace upon the waters. You make the clouds your chariot; you travel on the wings of the wind. 4 You make the winds your messengers; flaming fire, your ministers ...... II 5 You fixed the earth on its foundation, never to be moved. 6 The ocean covered it like a garment; above the mountains stood the waters. 7 At your roar they took flight; at the sound of your thunder they fled. 8 They rushed up the mountains, down the valleys to the place you had fixed for them. 9 You set a limit they cannot pass; never again will they cover the earth.
OF GREAT BEAUTY
AND INSPIRATION
I received the rosaries today.  Wings of the Wind is the most beautiful shade of mauve rose that I have ever seen!  The [SPO] rose crystal Pater beads are a stunning contrast to the creamy pearls.   I have been a long time customer of yours, but you always surprise and delight me with your beautiful creations.  They always seem to become more beautiful and creative!  I do believe that our Lord has blessed you and the ladies with ever-improving gifts for designing and making rosaries of great beauty and inspiration.  God bless you and keep you always,   -  Mary Schilhavy (IN)
