Tips from the Community
The patronage of this sanctuary, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the place LORETO. This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. In contrast to the other two mentioned places, however, Loreto did not become known through apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can be presented with something very tangible: The family home of Mary in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents – not mentioned by name in the biblical scriptures of the New Testament – are named in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is July 26). Probably crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the building venerated in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to this, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.
