La basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, conosciuta anche come Santa Maria della neve o come Basilica liberiana (dal nome del tradizionale fondatore, Papa Liberio), è una delle quattro basiliche patriarcali di Roma. Collocata sulla sommità del colle Esquilino, è la sola ad aver conservato la primitiva struttura paleocristiana, sia pure arricchita da successive aggiunte. Storia Fu fatta erigere da papa Sisto III tra il 432 e il 440 e da lui dedicata al culto della Madonna, il dogma della cui divina maternità era appena stato sancito dal Concilio di Efeso (431). La costruzione avvenne su una chiesa precedente, che una diffusa tradizione vuole sia stata la Madonna stessa ad ispirare apparendo in sogno a Papa Liberio e al patrizio Giovanni e suggerendo che il luogo adatto sarebbe stato indicato miracolosamente. Così quando la mattina del 5 agosto un'insolita nevicata imbiancò l'Esquilino il papa Liberio avrebbe tracciato nella neve il perimetro della nuova basilica, costruita poi grazie al finanziamento di Giovanni. Di questo antico edificio rimane solo un passo del Liber Pontificalis che afferma che Liberio fecit basilicam nomini suo iuxta Macellum Liviae. Ad ogni modo il 5 agosto di ogni anno, in ricordo della Madonna della Neve, avviene la rievocazione del cosiddetto "miracolo della nevicata": durante una suggestiva celebrazione vengono fatti scendere dal soffitto una cascata di petali bianchi. Il primo presepe È tuttora conservato nella Basilica il primo presepe della storia fatto con statue. È dovuto a papa Niccolò IV che nel 1288 commissionò ad Arnolfo di Cambio una raffigurazione della "Natività". La tradizione di questa rappresentazione sacra ha origini sin dal 432 quando papa Sisto III (432-440) creò nella primitiva Basilica una "grotta della Natività" simile a Betlemme. La Basilica prese la denominazione di Santa Maria ad praesepem (dal latino: praesepium = mangiatoia). I numerosi pellegrini che tornavano a Roma dalla Terra Santa, portarono in dono preziosi frammenti del legno della Sacra Culla (cunabulum) oggi custoditi nella teca dorata della Confessione. Vorrei invitare tutti gli amici di buona volontà a darmi indicazioni con critiche e commenti circa la loro preferenza: colore o bianco e nero. Scusatemi, ma a furia di pubblicare immagini in bianco e nero, mi è venuta la sindrome del "colore". Grazie di cuore a tutti.
