The dedication to "Our Lady of the Snows"—a not very common one in my experience—indicates that this church/chapel was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but not, as is usually the case, to one of her classic feast days (such as the Holy Name of Mary, the Nativity, the Assumption, or as Queen of the Rosary). Rather, the search for the origin of "Our Lady of the Snows" takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically, across the Alps to the Italian capital. On August 5, 363, at the very spot where the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore now stands (where Pope Francis was buried a few months ago), the so-called "Miracle of the Snows" occurred. That is to say, on that day, in the middle of summer, snow lay there in the morning because the Virgin Mary wished to have a church dedicated to her built on that very spot. She conveyed this wish in a nighttime vision to a wealthy couple—who financed the construction—and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius. The Roman church holds the rank of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica); it is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, August 5th, the church's consecration day (in the year 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is an optional memorial.
