10 - Canopy

canopyAccording to local tradition, the structure of an altar is not complete unless a canopy as a mark of distinction and honor surmounts it. Above the basilica's altar supported on brackets is a canopy in golden bronze, forming a regal crown. The metal filigree shows a blossoming rose plant, the Mystical Rose, a design symbolic of our Lady.
