Beata Vergine Maria Consolatrice (La Consolata) Venerata a Torino

La devozione torinese verso la Consolata, Patrona dell’ Arcidiocesi, è certamente la più sentita oltre ad essere la più antica. Le origini sono remote, secondo la tradizione il protovescovo S. Massimo fu il costruttore di un’antica chiesa mariana proprio a ridosso delle mura cittadine, presso la torre angolare i cui resti sono ancora visibili. Simbolicamente allineato alle antiche mura, a prova della protezione, … [More]

Many come to bathe in the shrine's grottos, where the water is believed to have healing powers. Now some may be praying for the flood to recede.
