Il monumento fu inaugurato l'8 dicembre 1857 grazie al lavoro di 220 vigili del fuoco diretti dal Poletti. All'inaugurazione e consacrazione della colonna intervenne lo stesso Pio IX con gran parte della corte pontificia, tanto che per accogliere tutti davanti alla facciata dell'ambasciata di Spagna fu montata una falsa facciata, ben visibile nella storica foto dell'evento. Da 1923 ogni anno i pompieri di Roma offrono nell'occasione della festa dell'Immacolata, una corona di fiori alla Madonna della colonna e dal 1958 il Papa presenzia regolarmente a questa cerimonia.
Nel 1777 venne rinvenuta una colonna di cipollino venato nel corso di lavori di ampliamento del convento delle monache Benedettine di S. Maria in Campo Marzio. Essa era alta quasi 12 metri con un diametro di quasi 1 metro e mezzo. Data la sua fattura incompleta, si constatò subito che essa non doveva essere mai stata utilizzata e forse giaceva ancora nei resti di una officina marmoraria. La sua rozzezza però non piacque a papa Pio VI ed essa rimase accantonata per quasi 80 anni, fino a quando papa Pio IX non decise di innalzarla in onore della Vergine e nell'occasione della promulgazione, nel 1854, del dogma sulla Immacolata Concezione. Il luogo fu scelto per la vicinanza del collegio De Propaganda Fide, dove venivano formati i missionari.
La colonna poggia su un basamento con le statue dei profeti Mosè, Isaia, Ezechiele e David. Fra loro quattro bassorilievi ricordano l'Annunciazione, il sogno di S. Giuseppe, l'incoronazione della Vergine e la promulgazione del dogma. In alto, gli emblemi degli evangelisti e la statua della Madonna (alta 4 metri e realizzata dallo scultore Giuseppe Obici) furono fusi in bronzo nelle fonderie del Vaticano.
All'innalzamento della colonna, nel 1857, lavorarono 220 pompieri che rapidamente portarono l'opera a compimento. Da qui deriva la tradizione, rinnovata ogni anno l'8 dicembre, dell'omaggio di una ghirlanda di fiori offerti dai Vigili del Fuoco alla Madonna.
The monument was inaugurated on December 8, 1857 thanks to the work of 220 firefighters directed by Poletti. Pius IX himself intervened at the inauguration and consecration of the column with a large part of the papal court, so much so that a false facade was mounted to welcome everyone in front of the Spanish Embassy, clearly visible in the historic photo of the event. From 1923 every year the firefighters of Rome offer on the occasion of the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a wreath of flowers to the Madonna of the column and since 1958 the Pope regularly attends this ceremony.
In 1777 a column of cipollino veined was found during the expansion of the convent of the Benedictine nuns of S. Maria in Campo Marzio. It was almost 12 meters high with a diameter of almost 1 and a half meters. Given its incomplete invoice, it was immediately found that it must never have been used and perhaps still lay in the remains of a marble workshop. Its roughness was not liked by Pope Pius VI and it remained shelved for almost 80 years, until Pope Pius IX decided to raise it in honor of the Virgin and on the occasion of the promulgation, in 1854, of the dogma on the Immaculate Conception. The place was chosen because of the proximity of the De Propaganda Fide college, where the missionaries were trained.
The column rests on a base with statues of the prophets Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel and David. Among them, four bas-reliefs recall the Annunciation, the dream of St. Joseph, the coronation of the Virgin and the promulgation of the dogma. Above, the emblems of the evangelists and the statue of the Madonna (4 meters high and made by the sculptor Giuseppe Obici) were cast in bronze in the Vatican foundries.
When the column was raised in 1857, 220 firefighters worked which quickly brought the work to completion. Hence the tradition, renewed every year on December 8, of the homage of a wreath of flowers offered by the Fire Brigade to the Madonna.

En 1777, une colonne de cipollino veiné a été trouvée lors de l'expansion du couvent des religieuses bénédictines de S. Maria in Campo Marzio. Il mesurait près de 12 mètres de haut pour un diamètre de près d'un mètre et demi. Compte tenu de sa facture incomplète, il a été immédiatement constaté qu'elle ne devait jamais avoir été utilisée et peut-être restait-elle dans les restes d'un atelier de marbre. Sa rugosité n'a pas plu au pape Pie VI et elle est restée en suspens pendant près de 80 ans, jusqu'à ce que le pape Pie IX décide de l'élever en l'honneur de la Vierge et à l'occasion de la promulgation, en 1854, du dogme de l'Immaculée Conception. L'endroit a été choisi en raison de la proximité du collège De Propaganda Fide, où les missionnaires ont été formés.
La colonne repose sur une base avec des statues des prophètes Moïse, Ésaïe, Ézéchiel et David. Parmi eux, quatre bas-reliefs rappellent l'Annonciation, le rêve de saint Joseph, le couronnement de la Vierge et la promulgation du dogme. Au-dessus, les emblèmes des évangélistes et la statue de la Vierge (haute de 4 mètres et réalisée par le sculpteur Giuseppe Obici) ont été coulés en bronze dans les fonderies du Vatican.
Lorsque la colonne a été levée en 1857, 220 pompiers ont travaillé, ce qui a rapidement mené à terme les travaux. D'où la tradition, renouvelée chaque année le 8 décembre, de l'hommage d'une couronne de fleurs offerte par les pompiers à la Madone.
The King David Hotel Jerusalem is the Israel's most famous hotel stands majestic, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem. This landmark hotel is situated at the point where old fuses with new; it is steeped in history and is the preferred choice of world leaders and celebrities alike.
One of the newest, most important and, perhaps, richest archaeological excavations in Jerusalem today (and, certainly its most contentious) is the City of David. The City of David, an area of only 10 to 12 acres, is the original hilltop upon which King David dedicated ancient Jerusalem as his capital 3,000 years ago. It is here in this now-fortified room below the City that the foundations of Jerusalem were first laid. In this room, above the sandbags, you can see the base of the ancient towers (Tower of Siloam) that were built to protect the pool that formed by the Gihon Spring, the only source of water for the City. The pool was below and to the left of the tower against the rocks where the sandbags are placed today. From here the water flowed into the Kidron Valley and watered the terraced agricultural plots that were located on the eastern slope of the City.

"David (Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David Tiberian dɔwið "beloved"; Arabic: دَاوُۥدَ Dāwud) was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel according to the Bible. He is depicted as a righteous king, although not without fault, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet, traditionally credited for composing many of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms.
His reign may be dated to c.1040–970 BC, his reign over Judah c.1005–1000 BC, and his reign over the united Kingdom of Israel c.1000–970 BC. The Books of Samuel are the primary source of information on his life and reign, continuing with his descendants in the Books of Kings. While there is little archaeological evidence to confirm the Book of Samuel's portrayal of David, the Tel Dan stele records the existence in the mid-9th century of a Judean royal dynasty called the "House of David". David's life is particularly important to Jewish and Christian culture. ... David conquers Jebus, the Jebusite fortress now called Jerusalem, and makes it his capital.... According to Ruth 4:18-22, David is the tenth generation descendant from Judah, the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob (Israel). The New Testament traces the genealogy of Jesus back to David and Abraham..." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David
All Saints at Sherbourne is a Victorian masterpiece by Sir George Gilbert Scott and probably the finest 19th century parish church in the county. It was built in 1862-4 with generous funding from local landowner Lousia Ryland, which allowed Gilbert Scott to spare no expense on the decoration within (such as the marble nave columns).
The interior is richly furnished and largely as Mrs Ryland and Gilbert Scott left it, with the addition of a south chapel contain a memorial to the founder and a vaulted organ chamber to the north. There are many tablets to the Ryland family around the walls and stained glass by Clayton & Bell, Heaton Butler & Bayne and Hardmans.
The church is kept locked and requires an appointment to have it opened. On my first visit I was thus unlucky, but happily I was able to return some weeks later and get inside.
On the night of 27th December 1940, the church Of St Mary, Whitehall was destroed by enemy action. This carving of King David was recovered and brought here, where it has since been restored. It is on the south wall and shows King David surrounded by musical instruments.
King David was the founder of the royal dynasty, the "House of David", and of the first unified Jewish kingdom centered in Jerusalem. David started his life as a shepherd, and went on to become the King of Israel by a divine annointment as communicated to him by prophet Samuel.

The six-pointed 'Star of David' atop of this "Chanukiah" is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. It is also the symbol of the Jewish State of Israel and appears on the flag of that country. Named for King David of ancient Israel it is said that the Star was modeled after his shield that he used as a warrior in battle prior to becoming a king.
