Our Lady of the Rose
San Vito al Tagliamento, Italy 1655)
On February 2, 1655, Giacomo Giacomuzzi di Rosa and his family were in church. Mariute, his eight year old daughter, stayed with her aunts, suffering from epilepsy. Suddenly her eyes fixed on the image of the Virgin on the wall, and the girl’s face lit up as if in ecstasy.
Her aunts later bombarded her with questions. Mariute reported the words of the apparition. Many did not believe her father, but a Franciscan, Father Vitale Vitali, investigated and concluded that the Virgin had appeared and spoken to the girl.
On the evening of March 31, 1655, the image was taken to San Nicolo by two oxen followed by everyone with banners and torches.
