Santi Sergio e Bacco degli Ucraini

This photograph shows the interior of the Ruthenian Uniate 'national' church of Santi Sergio e Bacco in Rome. It houses a copy of Our Lady of Zhyrovichy, an icon venerated at the Marian shrine in Zyrowice, Belarus, and said to have descended from heaven in 1480 to a group of shepherds grazing their animals. The replica was discovered in the Roman church in 1718 under the plaster of a wall in an adjacent building and became known as the "Madonna del Pascolo" (Madonna of the pastures) in reference to its origin among shepherds. She quickly gained a reputation for divine favors, turning the church into a place of pilgrimage.
