STATUE" OF OUR LADY
OF PEACE.

The cult of the Madonna della Pace
is growing fast in Italy. There has
just been inaugurated at the Basilica
of Santa Maria Maggiore Rome, the
first what we may call official statue
of Our Lady of Peace. 1t is the work
of the sculptor CALI, executed at the
order of Benedict XIV. 1t occupies a
niche of the basilica on the same side
as the famous Borghese chapel and
almost opposite the sacristy Our
Lady is represented holding in one
arm the Divine Babe; her left hand
is extended in a gesture which seems
to arrest the war and invite fighting
humanity to desist from the awful
combat; and the Child holds in his
tiny hands the symbolic branch of
olive and beckons Peace back to the
world. A large crowd including repre-
sentatives of all the countries accred-
tied to the Holy See was present at
the Inauguration of the statue, which
was blessed and unveiled by the THU
lar of the Basilica, Cardinal Vannu-
tell.
