We celebrate today the feast of the dedication of the Basilica of Mary Major,
one of the four major Papal Basilicas in Rome.
It has a great historical background as it was one of the first basilicas built
in honour of Mary, Mother of God.
The miracle that is said to have happened
to reveal the exact spot chosen by our Blessed Mother herself,
the miracle of snow in the mid summer night,
gave rise to the title
Our Lady of Snows!
