The Pilgrim Statue of Rosa Mystics will be on display in the Church of St. Helena in the Bronx from November 13-10. Rosa Mystica or Mystic Rose is a title of Mary in Catholic Marian devotion. It is found in the Litany of Loreto in reference to the Rose of Sharon, an allegorical belief that focuses on the Virgin Mary as Mediatrix intercessor. A 1947 Marian apparition to a religious nurse, Pierina Gilli, in Montichiari, Italy is associated with the Rosa Mystica. It is said that Mary appeared to her seven times that year. The devotion is mostly centered in Italy, and it is best known for its image of the Blessed Virgin Mary bearing three roses in her breast, symbolizing prayer, penance, and expiation
