St Ambrose in Milan


Today being the feast of St Ambrose it seems appropriate to share these views of this Doctor of the Church from Milan.


A restored fifth century mosaic portrait from his shrine church of Sant' Ambrogio - so it may preserve some memory of his appearance as he died in 397.

Today in Sant'Ambrogio Ambrose, vested in white and with a mitre on his skull, lies between the martyrs SS Gervasius and Protasius, whose remains he discovered.
