The patronage of "Mary of the Snows", which in my experience is not often encountered, takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called "miracle of the snow" happened at the site where the church of "Santa Maria Maggiore" stands today. That is, there was snow there in the middle of summer because the Mother of God wanted a church dedicated to her to be built there. She told this in a vision to a wealthy couple - who financed the construction - and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius.
