Snow Mary chapel

Snow Mary chapel

Kapela Marije Snežne

When Dom na Krvavcu was being blessed on 6th September 1925, many present there expressed a wish for a chapel to be built nearby as well. Based on Plečnik,s blueprints the Aljaž club of Ljubljana built a chapel, resembling the local, traditional stone-built shepherds, sheds. The chapel, dedicated to Marija Snežna, was blessed by the bishop of Ljubljana, Dr. Gregorij Rožman in 1929. It retains the status of a private chapel for the first ten years; however, in 1939, its ownership was transferred to the parish of Cerklje.

 

The altar bears a stone pillar, upon which the following text is engraved:

DOMINVS IN CAELO PARAVIT SEDEM SVAM ALLELVIA

(The Lord hath prepared His throne in Haven, Hallelujah)

 

 

Above the altar there is a large crucifix featuring a bronze Christ with his left arm made of wood. Next to him are St. Peter and St. Paul. Above the crucifix there is an image of Mary with two monks at her side. The chapel also has its own bell, weighing approximately 50kg.

Each year on the first Sunday following Ascension Day a traditional blessing takes place in this chapel on Krvavec.
