Our Lady of the Knoll
Castel San Pietro Terme, Italy (1550)
On February 22, 1550, a blind elderly woman Antonia Bedini was begging for bread when the Madonna appeared saying: “Go‘home, and you'll find what you need in the cupboard, for as long as you live.”
Antonia obeyed, and her cupboard provided enough bread for her to eat until her death nine months later.
The miracle immediately attracted popular devotion and further miracles. The sanctuary in the Poggio district was begun in 1551.
The revered image waslaced on its main altar. The madonna is seated between Sts. Francis & Jerome, in a red robe, blue mantle and yellow-green veil, with a naked Child on her knee.
