Our Blessed Lady: pray for us...


SALVS POPVLI ROMANI
SANCTA MARIA AD NIVES

Santa Maria Maggiore – Roma
Attrib. S. Luca

If you know and love Rome, then you know and love the treasured icon of the Salus Populi Romani found in the Borghese chapel of the Roman Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. This mosaic copy is kept in the crypt of the Church of the Dormition on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem.
