 Our Description


Edited by Brother Francis Mary, FFI

During this Jubilee year there will be many millions wold-wide going on pilgrimages to special designated shrines to gain the Jubilee Indulgence. It is estimated that there will be millions of pilgrims converging on Italy during this Jubilee year. There are over 1500 Marian Shrines in Italy, which account for 85% of all their shrines. Marian Shrines in Italy is both timely and informative.

Anyone reading this book during this Jubilee year will have a greater appreciation of what it means to be Catholic, and to be Catholic means to be Marian. The history, the culture, the great masterpieces of Italy, and above all the Faith that inspired the building of these great Marian Shrines can not help but to make one proud of being a member of of the Holy, Roman, Catholic Faith.

The book has over 40, well illustrated chapters on the Marian shrines. Each inspiring story shows dramatically how Mary has helped her children both collectively and individually, visibly shown at her shrines through the many thousands of ex-voto offering for favors received.

The chapters vary from apparitions of Our Lady which motivated the building of a shrine where many graces and miracles have been recorded and documented. Other topics include: a Basilica built on a plot of ground marked off by snow in the hottest month of the year in Rome; the Holy House of Mary in Nazareth appearing in Loreto, Italy; a beautiful Icon of Our Lady on a piece of heavy slate floating from an overflowing well; the building of a whole city around a basilica in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary constructed by a lawyer who was as former Satanist priest, and more.
