The Column
On 19 September 1953, the same year as the
lachrymation, the image was moved from Via degli
Orti St. to the nearby Euripide Square.
The image was placed upon a column of white stone
and there it remained until 28 August 1968, when it
was transferred to the newly completed and
consecrated Crypt.
The column which for a whole of 15 years held the
wondrous plaque has been transferred to the Shrine
park where it is surrounded by a lovely rose bed.
