A damaged panel of the bronze central door of St. Mary Major basilica is seen in Rome, Monday, Dec. 19, 2011. Vandals have made a fist-sized hole in the bronze central door of one of Rome's main basilicas, St. Mary Major. The damage, seemingly made by a small-tipped hammer or rock, was discovered Tuesday morning on a panel of the door depicting the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary. The basilica, which dates from the 5th century, is one of four in Rome that are under the direct jurisdiction of the Vatican. (AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia)
