Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows in Modra
Little from the history of Our Lady of the Snows
John and his wife were speaking with pope about their desire to have children, so it was their desire that their worldly goods should be given to the Mother of God. They discussed this with Pope Liberius and he counseled them to commend this holy intention to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Fervently, they besought her to show them her desire by some sign.
August 5th, 352, it is night, Virgin Mary appears to Pope Liberius, John and his wife. She tells them to construct the church in her honour on the crest of theEsquiline Hill. As a sign of her will, she told them, they would find it covered with snow.
John, his wife, and Pope Liberius, told the crowd the snow was a favor from the Immaculate Queen of Heaven. When the people learned this, they shouted over and over again, "Our Lady of the Snows!"
The church built in her honor is known today as the Basilica of Saint Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore), because it is the Mother of all churches throughout the world dedicated to our Heavenly Queen. This church in Rome is the original Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. In honor of Pope St. Liberius (who suffered exile during the Arian heresy), it is also called the "Liberian Basilica." From this little part of History you see great importance of Our Lady.
