A brief explanation of the patronage 'MARIA SCHNEE' (Snow Mary), which visitors to a house of worship do not encounter too often: This takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically across the Alps to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called 'Snow Miracle' happened there at the site where the church 'Santa Maria Maggiore' is located today. That is, on that day, in the middle of summer, there was snow in the morning because the Mother of God wanted a house of worship dedicated to her to be built there. She communicated this wish in a vision to a wealthy couple – who then initiated and financed the construction – and to the Bishop of Rome, who at that time was Pope Liberius. The Roman house of worship has the status of a patriarchal basilica (Papal Basilica); it is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the date of August 5th is a 'non-obligatory memorial day' as the consecration day of the church (Anno Domini 432 by Pope Sixtus III.). Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome was the focus of international interest last year, as Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday 2025, had chosen this church as his final resting place.

More information at: https://www.berggasthaus-petersberg.de/ Although closed on Fridays, a refrigerator stocked with drinks is available for hikers – honesty box. A wonderful, friendly landlady – even though it's her day off, I was able to order cake and cappuccino. The cake was still warm – excellent service and a very kind landlady.
