Our Lady of Valverde

Italy (1711)

The shrine of Our Lady of Valverd Rezzato, dates back to 1399, when Our Lady appeared to a farmer plowing his field, near the entrance of Valverde Rezzato, urging people to abandon their sinful ways, and encouraging them to live a Christian life. A small octagonal church dating from the twelfth century was built before the Rezzatesi decided to erect a larger sanctuary, completed in 1615. During the summer of 1711, the province of Brescia was hit by a severe epidemic of dying cattle.

The inhabitants of Rezzato prayed to Our Lady of Valverde. On October 1, Our Lady appeared a second time to Paul Ogna, 8, and Francesco Pelizzari, 11, who went to collect chestnuts near the pond of the Sanctuary. Our Lady promised the end of the epidemic.
