It's made of olive wood from the holy land. <BR/><BR/>They say the first altar was built there in the time of pagan rome. augustus had a dream where he saw the virgin mary and baby jesus over the ara coeli (golden altar). so augustus knew "a" god was being born at that time and feared greatly. Loads of history there.John Paul Sonnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248427382830782035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-57267894067786761902008-01-18T18:35:00.000-08:002008-01-18T18:35:00.000-08:00When I went to Rome I remember seeing the Gesu Bam...When I went to Rome I remember seeing the Gesu Bambino, could you maybe give some information on this statue of baby Jesus? By the way I also remember an Italian priest pointing to the footprint of the devil imbeded in the marble floor of this Church. He said that the Church used to be a Roman temple and that when it was consecrated as a Church, the devil stormed out of the Church and left a huge footprint in the marble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
