Join Mary Jane Fox as she spiritually travels to the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, and Mother of all men and women. It is the first, largest, and oldest church dedicated to the Mother of God, and the final resting place of Pope Francis.
During our journey, Mary Jane will discuss:
- Relic of the Manger
- The Marian image, painted by St. Luke.
- Why Mary is called Mother of all Mankind.
