The cult of Madonna of Miracles dates to 1547. Accordingto tradition while washing their clothes in the torrent of a river in Italy thewomen (with a blind and a deaf one among them), saw the apparition of a womanwith a child and were hit by a gust of pebbles moved during the apparition, butwithout getting any injury or pain; on the contrary, after being hit by thepebbles, they strangely felt a certain sense of wellbeing and recovered their health.
