Churches of Rome: St. Mary Major, Salus Populi Romani

This video takes you through the history of the Salus Populi Romani, the icon to which Pope Francis has dedicated his papacy and before which, as he has stated recently, he desires to be buried.

Join Crux Stationalis on the Lenten Roman Station Church itinerary!

On the Wednesday after the First Sunday of Lent we go to Saint Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore) in Rome!

And today we explore the icon of the Salus Populi Romani! Recently restored by the Vatican Museums!

Pope Francis wishes to be buried in a side chapel of the Pauline Chapel of Saint Mary Major.
