Santa Maria In Legarano
Santa Maria in Legarano is a Roman Catholic church, located in the frazione of Legarano north of the town of Casperia, in the province of Rieti, region of Lazio, Italy. The church is dedicated to the Birth of the Virgin. History The church was built in early medieval centuries at the site of a rustic Ancient Roman villa. It remained a parish church until 1409, when it was made part of a Gesuati Convent. The entrance to the church is striking because it is approached by a long external stone staircase rising to a 16th-century sculpted portal in a wall. From there, a narrow passage between tall bushes lead to the facade portico. Inside the portico, in the lunette above the entrance, is a fresco of the ''Annuciation'' (1561) completed by the brothers Lorenzo and Bartolomeo Torresani. The church has a single nave. In the left apse is a fresco depicting the ''Marriage of the Virgin'' attributed to Alessandro Torresani, son of Lorenzo. In the left transept are 16th-century terracotta ...

Birth Of The Virgin
Birth is the act or process of bearing or bringing forth offspring, also referred to in technical contexts as parturition. In mammals, the process is initiated by hormones which cause the muscular walls of the uterus to contract, expelling the fetus at a developmental stage when it is ready to feed and breathe. In some species the offspring is precocial and can move around almost immediately after birth but in others it is altricial and completely dependent on parenting. In marsupials, the fetus is born at a very immature stage after a short gestation and develops further in its mother's womb pouch. It is not only mammals that give birth. Some reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates carry their developing young inside them. Some of these are ovoviviparous, with the eggs being hatched inside the mother's body, and others are viviparous, with the embryo developing inside her body, as in the case of mammals. Mammals Large mammals, such as primates, cattle, horses, some an ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

They acquired some wealth from donations and l ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Nativity scenes exhibit figures representing the infant Jesus, his mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph. Other characters from the nativity story, such as shepherds, sheep, and angels may be displayed near the manger in a barn (or cave) intended to accommodate farm animals, as described ...

Mandorla
A mandorla is an almond-shaped aureola, i.e. a frame that surrounds the totality of an iconographic figure. It is usually synonymous with '' vesica'', a lens shape. Mandorlas often surround the figures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary in traditional Christian iconography. It is distinguished from a halo in that it encircles the entire body and not just the head. It is commonly used to frame the figure of Christ in Majesty in early medieval and Romanesque art, as well as Byzantine art of the same periods. It is the shape generally used for mediaeval ecclesiastical seals, secular seals generally being round. Depictions ''Mandorla'' is Italian for the almond nut, to which shape it refers.

In icons of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the mandorla is used to depict sacred moments that transcend time and space, such as the Resurrection and th ...
