Our Lady of Yalmala
Cuneo, Italy (1834)
On a clear August morning, at sunrise, four young shepherdesses pushed their herd of cows on the road that winds up the mountain. That day while they rested, they witnessed on a stone the figure of a beautiful woman of about twenty.
She did not speak but looked sad and lovingly at the four girls. They did not know who she was, maybe St. Anne, perhaps the Madonna. She disappeared as quickly as she came and the girls ran home.
On the 15th of August, the feast of the Assumption they returned with a crowd. Nobody saw her but the girls, but all knelt, convinced that it is the Virgin Mary. The visions repeated for 50 days and a great monument was built on the site.
