Miraculous Madonna
Taggia, Italy (1855)
The first movement of the eyes occurred on March 11, 1855 near the end of a week of prayer for the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The miracle continued for some days, witnessed by many.
The pastor, Don Stefano Semeria, informed the bishop, who went to Taggia and began a canonical proceeding that gathered some 120 testimonials.
On June 1, 1856 the statue of the Miraculous Madonna was solemnly crowned and a decree promulgated recognizing the miracles.
The coronation anniversary is celebrated on the first Sunday in June. Taggia celebrates the patronal feast of the Miraculous Madonna annually on March 11.
