“The prophet Isaiah at the base of the Column of the Immaculate Conception – Rome”…

The column is situated next to the Piazza di Spagna in the adjacent Piazza Mignanelli in front of the Spanish Embassy in Rome near the Palace of the Propagation of the Faith. It was realized by the architect Luigi Poletti and inaugurated in 1857 on the 8th December thanks to the work of 220 firemen. The work is dedicated to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception that was proclaimed by Pope Pius IX, in 1854, with the Apostolic Constitution Ineffabilis Deus. This dogma states that Mary is the only human being who was born without original sin. The statues are the work of Giuseppi Obici. On the base of the column are 4 bronze statues of Moses, David, the prophet Ezekiel and Isaiah. Below each statue is a verse from the Sacred Scriptures that refers to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Below this statue of Isaiah, we find the verse: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.” (Is 7:14) Each year, on the 8th of December the Church celebrates the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. In the afternoon the Holy Father visits the Piazza di Spagna to place roses as an act of homage to Our Lady, at the statue of the Virgin. These roses indicate the love and devotion of the Pope, the Church and the people of the city of Rome for the Virgin Mary. With these roses, the desire is to depose each of anxiety and place hope at the foot of the celestial Mother of the Redeemer. The late afternoon sun was shining directly on the Prophet Isaiah’s pen in anticipation of his divinatory words.
