Pilgrimage Day 7 — Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major! After several attempts (thanks to the massive crowds!), we finally made it through the fourth Holy Door—at this breathtaking papal basilica dedicated to Our Blessed Mother.

 This sacred place was filled with awe and wonder:
- The oldest Marian image, traditionally attributed to St. Luke
- The relic of the Holy Crib from Bethlehem
- The burial place of Pope Francis - A mini Sistine Chapel dedicated to the Nativity of our Lord …And so much more to take in and pray with. What a gift!
