History of Our Lady of Loreto

On10 December, theliturgical feast of Our Lady of Loreto iscelebrated. The festival is also called theFeast of the Comingand has very ancient origins.

In fact, it has been celebrated for over four hundred years on the night between 9 and 10 December. A characteristic of this festival isthe lighting of firesthat light up the night, in the cities and the countryside, and that recall those that on that same night in 1296 would have been lit to accompany a very particular procession. This is the procession of angels that brought the Holy House to Loreto.

Legend has it that the Holy House of Mary was taken away from Nazareth by the angels when Palestine fell to the infidel Turks in 1291.

We will see in a later paragraph how this translation would have taken place. What is certain is that the city of Loreto was founded precisely in the place chosen by the heavenly messengers as the new seat of the Holy House, on the top of Monte Prodo, along the Via Lauretana that already in the thirteenth century connected Rome to the port of Ancona.

Thus was bornthevenerationofOur Lady of Loreto, a symbolof the human and family dimension of Jesus and of the entire Holy Family, a warning and memory for all the pilgrims who since the Middle Ages went to these places,of the mystery of the Incarnation of Jesus, on the one hand, and of thecall of the Virgin, on the other.
