Under the pontificate of Pe!agius in
6S9. the swollen waters of the Tiber rose
to the summit of the temple of Nero. In
subsiding they left such an Infectious de-
posit that there resulted a violent plague.
TO turn away the divine wrath the pope
ordered general procession. AS though
God demanded an illustrious victim,
Pelagius was taken away by the conta-
gion in the very procession with seventy
other persons. His successor, st. Greg
ory the Great. ordered a second process
sion, at the head of which was carried
the picture of the Blessed Virgin.
Before this greatly venerated relic the
plague is said TO have subsidized, and when
the procession reached the castle of
Adrian, now the castle of San Angelo.
St Gregory, 1t is said, beheld an angel
sheathing a sword wet with blood. This
was accepted as the signal of pardon.
AS a thanksgiving the church renews
this procession every year
