šVenice Celebrations Series. #21November, #LaSalute.
Today, like every 21 November, in Venice it's Festa di Santa Maria della Salute, maybe the most heartfelt celebration for Venetians. It's a Catholic feast in fact, a votive wooden bridge is built on the #GrandCanal to allow citizens to walk and pay tribute to the icon of Saint Mary of Health, kept in the Church of the same name: still today a true pilgrimage!
#VeniceHistory: in 1630 Venice experienced an unusually devastating plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health (Salute in Italian). The church was designed in the then fashionable baroque style by architect Baldassare #Longhena. Most of the works of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.
Needless to say the Church of Santa Maria della Salute is one of the most iconic image of Venice (and of Venice Rocks Channel too š) as you probably recognize šøāļø
