Our Lady of the Snows – Feast on August 5
A summer miracle and Marian devotion
Our Lady of the Snows is honored every year on August 5, in memory of a miraculous event from the 4th century. According to tradition, the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to a Roman nobleman and Pope Liberius, pointing to the Esquiline Hill as the site for a new church.
The next morning, despite the summer heat, the hill was covered in snow. This sign inspired the building of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, now one of the most important Marian shrines. This feast symbolizes purity, protection, and deep faith.
