subpoop subpoop asked: Have you heard of "Our Lady of the Snows"? Can you tell me a little more about it?

This title of Mary refers to the founding legend of the archbasilica of St Mary Major in Rome.

According to tradition it was Mary herself who chose the spot of the church, by making snow fall on the site some time in the 4th century. The event is still celebrated on the feast of Our Lady of the Snows on August 5.
