Beam Of Light

We have been getting lots of rain in this spring, even when yesterday was a pretty sunny day and in the evening, huge, dark pieces of clouds just started to rush in, trying to cover up the sky. The sun tried its best to shine a beam of light onto the city.

This view was taken at a house in San Mauro.

Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians

The Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians (Santuario di Maria Ausiliatrice) is a church in Turin, northern Italy. Originally part of the home for poor boys founded by John Bosco, it now contains the remains of Bosco, and 6,000 relics of other saints.
The church housing Bosco's remains was built in 1865-1868 to plans by Antonio Spezia.

According to legend, a vision of the Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to John Bosco in 1844 or 1845 and revealed the site of the martyrdom of the Turinese saints Solutor, Adventor and Octavius. The Basilica dell'Ausiliatrice was built on the site of their death. The church houses the relics of these saints.

The Basilica is located in the piazza between Corso Regina Margherita and  Via Maria Ausiliatrice.
