Lady of the Snow

I bought this not knowing the history of Our Lady of the Snows.  Isn't she beautiful?  Made in Japan  - possibly by Sanmyro – one of the collectible 50s or 60s ceramic companies she's is perfect shape.  I wouldn't have cared if she hadn't been, though.

I know she's from Bellville, IL not far from St. Louis but I don't know the history of Our Lady of the Snows retreat house or why it was named that.

I'm just so happy to have this serene statue in my home.
