At 5 minute mark more or less: there is Pope Pius VII “with an event that happened in 1815”, yes, that “event” in 1815 was Pope Pius VII declaring that May 24 be the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. Here is the background:In 1809, Napoleon's men entered the Vatican, arrested Pius VII and brought him in chains to Grenoble, and eventually Fontainbleau. His imprisonment lasted five years. The Holy Father vowed to God that , if he were restored to the Roman See, he would institute a special feast in honor of Mary. Military reverses forced Napoleon to release the Pope, and on May 24th 1814, Pius VII returned in triumph to Rome. Twelve months later, the Pope decreed that the feast of Mary Help of Christians, be kept on the 24th of May. Wonderful video, awesome to see everything close up! Thank you! St. John Bosco, pray for us!

I had never heard that story before about the miracle of the bells with St John Bosco's death. I hope to visit this sacred place one day, but am grateful for this virtual tour in the meantime.

Probablemente en octubre si Dios quiere quiero ir a Turín ,x ver la basílica de M. Auxiliadora,me eduque en un colegio de Salesianas,y aun conociendo la vida de D.Bosco y Santo Domingo Sabio,querría ver x mis propios ojo donde están los restos del Santo D.Bosco 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Dn Bosco and Maria Mazzarello at heart

Qué belleza tanto Amor y Devoción a la Madre Auxiliadora, madre de Dios de todas las madres e hijos, o sea de todos, protectora

the virgin and the eucharist are the two columns that have to support our lives.
