The Madonna of Trevisio
Treviso, Veneto, Italy (1511)
When St. Jerome Emiliani was still very young, the administrator of the fortress of Castelnuovo, he was jatled a day after an enemy attack. In the solitude of prison, he sought the help of God so he began to pray, turning to the Holy,Virgin Mary, “liberation of prisoners,” promising that if he returned free, he would go on pilgrimage to the shrine of Treviso.
Jerome in fact obtained a release from captivity and the certain death sentence through the intercession of the Virgin, who appeared to him and released him from his chains. The Lady then proceeded to protect him miraculously on his way to Treviso. This allowed him to cross unharmed through armies in conflict and to fulfill his vow.
