Holy Mary of Gibilmanna
Sicily, Italy (1534)
On Easter Sunday, April 5, 1534 a boat carrying the statue took refuge from a storm near the village of Castello di Roccella. Legend has it that Mary appeared Capuchin friar who lived in Gibilmanna, telling him to fetch the statue from the ox-drawn wagon and bild a shrine. At a certain point the oxen refused to move any further. At this spot a shrine was erected for Mary.
