Holy Mary of the Walnut

Rieti, Italy (1505)

 

A young man prayed fervently to the Blessed  Virgin Mary for the healing of his brother who was  very sick. On June 15, 1505, Mary appeared to him and promised him that his brother would be cured. In fact, shortly after it happened, in gratitude he erected a church and  a statue of Our Lady of Grace was placed inside. In 1690, the coronation of the  statue was celebrated. The  Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tirano remains in this  town even today.
