Mosaic created by Paolo Scirpa between 1963 and 1965. The theme initially chosen was Pentecost, but during the making of it Pope Paul VI declared 'Mary, Mother of the Church' and Chiara wished to adapt the mosaic. It is currently in the Chapel of the International Centre of the Focolare Movement in Rocca di Papa, where the tombs of Chiara Lubich, Igino Giordani and Pasquale Foresi are located.
