Our Lady of Sorrows
Castelpetroso, Italy (1888)
On March 22, 1888, two women, Fabiana Cecchino (35) and Serafina Giovanna Valentino (33) were sent to look for some sheep that had strayed on a neighboring hill and had a vision of Mary first as the Pieta and later as Our Lady of Sorrows in a cave at Castelpetroso, Italy. They returned home in tears and reported the vision to the disbelieving townspeople.
A spring appeared at the apparition site in May 1888. This water has been used by the faithful in the same manner as that of Lourdes and many favors are piously believed to have been received.
Mgr. Macarone-Palmieri Bishop of the diocese of Bojano, skeptical at first witnessed an apparition three times during his investigation.
