The Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major experienced a moment of particular solemnity today as it welcomed the Sovereigns of Spain, His Majesty King Felipe VI and Her Majesty Queen Letizia.
In this Marian sanctuary, the taking possession of the title of Protocanon of the Liberian Chapter by King Felipe VI renews a historic bond between the Basilica and the Spanish Crown, rooted through the centuries.
A gesture that unites past and present, in the light of tradition and as a sign of the spiritual continuity that spans the ages.
