“Crucifixion Altar of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome”…

The Cappella delle Reliquie (Chapel of the Relics) by Ferdinando Fuga, 1750 has 10 red porphyry columns and this late 14th-early 15th century wooden crucifix which used to be at the entrance to the church where the tomb of Pope Clement IX is located. The first major stop on my first visit to Rome was The Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major, which reigns as an authentic jewel in the crown of Roman churches. Its beautiful treasures are of inestimable value and represent the Church's role as the cradle of Christian artistic civilization in Rome. For nearly sixteen centuries, St. Mary Major has held its position as a Marian shrine par excellence and has been a magnet for pilgrims from all over the world who have come to the Eternal City to experience the beauty, grandeur, and holiness of the Basilica. The numerous treasures contained in the museum render St. Mary Major a place where art and spirituality combine in a perfect union, offering visitors a unique experience in contemplating the great works of man inspired by God.
