From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mater Admirabilis is a fresco depicting the Virgin Mary, at the TrinitÃ  dei Monti, a church in Rome. It was painted by a young French girl, Pauline Perdrau, and has been associated with several miracles. Legend has it Pauline had been asked by the nuns at TrinitÃ  dei Monti to paint a mural of the Blessed Mother.
Two years later, Pope Pius IX visited the TrinitÃ  and asked to see what was under the curtain. When the fresco was uncovered, the âgarishâ red had softened to a pink, and he enthusiastically dubbed the painting Mater Admirabilis (Mother Most Admirable). One can find a copy of Mater in virtually any Sacred Heart school world-wide, and âThe Feast of Materâ is celebrated on October 20. It is interesting to note that Pauline (who became very close to Sophie and authored a lovely memoir of her, Les Loisirs de lâAbbaye) painted other versions of Mater during her lifetime. One depicts her in old age.
