THE
\nAPPARITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was April of the year 1656 when a tremendous pestilence infested the city
\nof Naples, with so much force that in the following May the city remained
\nalmost completely uninhabited, to the extent that grass began to grow on some
\nof the streets. This mortal infection spread from the city of Naples to all the
\nkingdom with equal fury and force, and with equal slaughter. Even the region of
\nPuglie remained desolated, and great was the terror which dominated the souls
\nof the populations.<\/p>\n

Between the end of June and the beginning of July of the same year, the
\ndevastating epidemic came to strike also our city of Corato, infesting it in
\nsuch a way that in a few days several hundreds of victims were counted. As soon
\nas a blackish area, called bubbone<\/em>, appeared on any part of the body, a
\nfever immediately came, so burning that in a few hours the poor patient was
\nreduced to a horrid cadaver. In vain the science of medicine tried to prescribe
\ncures; in fact, doctors themselves were among the first victims. So, since
\nthere was no possibility of any human aid in such sorrowful anguish, the
\npeople, terrified, recurred to the intercession of their Protector Saints, and
\nmainly to that of Most Holy Mary. In the meantime many people, and most
\nespecially the elderly, knew that according to tradition there was a prodigious
\nimage of the Most Holy Virgin in the vault of one of the twenty-five towers
\nwhich crowned the walls of Corato, and, specifically, the tower which looked to
\nSouth-west.<\/p>\n

Many thought that if that image were exposed to public veneration and homage
\nof the faithful during such great calamity, the town would have been freed from
\nthe terrible chastisement.<\/p>\n

As the news spread out, a crowd of people thronged around the mentioned
\ntower. An opening was made. The humid and dark vault or cave could hardly be
\nseen, which was not connected with either the ground level or the near street.<\/p>\n

The anxiety to see and venerate the sacred liberating Image, and the fear,
\namong few, to precipitate into the vault, held some people back, attracted
\nothers, or pushed others away, according to their different feelings. But all
\nwere debating on what to do in order to find the Image, so greatly longed for,
\nand therefore expose it to the veneration of the community.<\/p>\n

At that moment the pious and erudite Priest, Don Francesco Lojodice, called
\nSaccone, passed by. He was one of the people who had been elected to provide
\nfor the needs of the town during the period of the deadly scourge. In seeing so
\nmuch people being gathered, he exhorted them to leave, both because the
\ncrowding of people in those calamities is always a new and greater reason for
\ncontagion, and because he feared the arising of superstition and error, which usually
\nspread among common people in these painful circumstances, finally, because he
\nfeared that some accidents might occur. Therefore, he tried to lead the great
\nnumber of people away from the entrance of the cave.<\/p>\n

However, he spoke and explained his reasons in vain, because nobody moved
\nfrom there. On the contrary, holding lamps at the entrance of the cave, all
\npleaded the Virgin for pity and mercy with loud cries.<\/p>\n

In order to eliminate the danger of falling into the cave, Don Francesco had
\nthe entrance widened. Then, he himself went down on a ladder and with a torch.
\nHowever, as much as he tried to be diligently attentive, he could see no Image,
\nbut only a little window with some traces of an ancient painting, from which no
\nfigure appeared. The little window is clearly the one that can be seen still
\nnow on the original altar.<\/p>\n

But who can ever penetrate into the admirable and inscrutable ways which the
\nDivine Goodness uses when It wants to manifest Itself to the creatures, either
\nby offering Its gifts, or by relieving the afflicted and troubled mankind?<\/p>\n

So, prey to many thoughts and different feelings, the pious Priest Lojodice
\ncame out of the vault feeling a change and a restlessness within himself which
\nhe did not know how to explain. In order to be freed from so much uncertainty
\nand perplexity, through prayer he recurred to God, the Provider of holy advice.<\/p>\n

At the dawn of July 17, 1656, while Don Francesco was humbly recollected in
\nprayer, he had a special vision. The Most Holy Virgin appeared to him shining
\nwith light, and with the same features which can be seen today in the Picture
\nrepresenting the Greek Madonna. With majesty and love, She said to him:
\n“Courage, my beloved one, console these afflicted people. They will be
\nsoon freed from the tremendous chastisement of the anger of God, if the cave
\nwhich you know will be dedicated to my honor and to my veneration.”
\nImmediately after, the vision disappeared, leaving the good Priest in great
\npeace and consolation. Don Francesco, the fortunate one chosen by Mary,
\nhurriedly went to Trani in order to relate the event to his Archbishop,
\nMonsignor Tommaso Sarria, a Spanish Dominican.<\/p>\n

He did this in order to be more reassured on the truthfulness of the
\napparition, submitting it to the judgment of his legitimate Superior, since it
\nis possible that, in these extraordinary things, there might be diabolical
\ndeceit and suggestion; and also to obtain permission to transform that cave
\ninto a public Oratory, and open it for public veneration.<\/p>\n

Having been completely reassured by the illustrious Prelate on the fact that
\neverything was a work of God, and having received wide authority to implement
\nwhat he had asked, Don Francesco could think about nothing but to fulfill the
\ndesire and command of the Most Holy Virgin.<\/p>\n

On the following day, July 18, the third Saturday of the month, early in the
\nmorning, Father Lojodoce was already in the vault together with several
\nworkers. Some were intent in widening and securing the entrance of the vault,
\nsome in cleaning it from rubble and soil; some were carefully leveling the
\nground; some were painting the walls; some began to raise an altar. In very
\nlittle time, all contributed to transform that dark and gloomy cave into a
\ndecent Oratory.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, having given the necessary dispositions to everyone, Don
\nFrancesco intended to implement his dominant thought: to have the Image of the
\nMadonna painted on a walnut board. He called a painter and orderd the painting
\nto him, explaining the him the details of the figure which had to be reproduced,
\njust as the one which had appeared to himself. But for as many different
\ndrawings and sketches as the artist presented to him, not even one corresponded
\nto the one which he had requested, or better, to the one which he had seen in
\nthe vision.<\/p>\n

At about midday, various people, among them the painter, returned to their
\nhomes, while Don Francesco and many other people, animated by unlimited
\nconfidence that the Great Virgin would have accomplished the work, had recourse
\nto Her with vivid faith, begging Her in fervent and unanimous prayer.<\/p>\n

As the fervent prayer was rising up to Heaven, the abundance of the divine
\nmercy descended from the Throne of God.<\/p>\n

Oh, prodigy! Oh, astonishment! Oh, truly maternal mercy of Mary! A
\nharmonious sound of a little bell was heard, not only in the vault, but also
\noutside, in the whole neighborhood. It was so sweet as to astonish all those
\nwho heard it.<\/p>\n

In the midst of so much surprise, a new surprise was added: a cry of joy,
\nwhich strongly shook all those who were present, was emitted by a devoted
\nwoman, Beatrice dell\u2019Oglio, who, pointing out at the board, exclaimed:
\n“Here is Mary, here is Mary!”<\/p>\n

This lady used to be blind, and all knew her as such; but as soon as the
\nImage of Mary, which we venerate under the title of Saint Mary the Greek,
\nmiraculously appeared, painted on the walnut board which had been prepared by
\nthe painter, she gained back her sight, being the first to point out at the
\nprodigious Image.<\/p>\n

As the pious Priest was shaken from his recollection by that cry, he saw the
\nImage, miraculously painted, and he recognized it as perfectly identical to the
\none which he had admired in the vision. Moved and exultant with joy, he too
\ncried out: “She is the One, She is the One! The Image that appeared to me
\nin the vision.” And with tears in his eyes, he kept repeating more and
\nmore loudly: “She is the One, She is the One!”<\/p>\n

A great crowd immediately rushed up, and all fell on their knees before the
\nSacred Image, with tears in their eyes. Trembling with emotion, they began to
\njoyously praise and thank the Virgin. Some of them, with irrepressible
\naffection, began to place loving and respectful kisses on that venerable board;
\nothers, considering themselves unworthy, humbly and respectfully kissed the
\nground. Some said, like the old Saint Simeon, that they were content to die
\nafter having seen such great prodigy with their eyes. Some others recognized
\nthe mercy of the Lord which had spared them from the slaughter of the plague,
\ngiving them the chance to admire such a marvelous prodigy. Moved as they were,
\nall promised persevering veneration and filial devotion to this tender and
\nloving Mother and Queen.<\/p>\n

And She really proved Herself to be a Mother of our fathers, because, from
\nthat day on, not only did the terrible infection cease completely, which had
\nclaimed many victims, but many patients who had been attacked by the disease,
\nsoon improved and were healed. The deaths ceased to the extent that (according
\nto the tradition of our fathers) in the following August our city was
\ncompletely freed, thanks to the special favor of our Mother Mary, while other
\nneighboring towns were still frighteningly terrified and desolated. In fact,
\namong them, Andria, which is seven miles away from Corato, was reduced to a
\nthird of its population, since about fourteen thousand people died. It was
\nfreed only in January of the following year, 1657, after making a vow to Saint
\nSebastian, the martyr.<\/p>\n

THE
\nIMAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Image of the Greek Madonna is portrayed on a walnut board, 106 cm high
\n(41.7 inches), 74.5 cm wide (29.3 inches).<\/p>\n

The observer can see a great August Lady, majestically seated on clouds, Who
\nseems to demand respect and reverence with Her posture, inspiring devotion and
\nlove at the same time.<\/p>\n

She is the Queen of Heaven, and also a Mother for us, miserable children of
\nAdam. In Her right hand, She holds a long Pastoral cross of Greek style, while
\nShe hugs with Her left arm Little Baby Jesus, sustaining Him on Her left knee.
\nEight Angels reverently crown Her and court Her. A royal crown in the oriental
\nstyle surrounds Her head. With Her eyes directed toward the observer, and with
\nan air of majesty and love, She seems to say: “Have recourse to Me with
\nconfidence. Do not doubt. I am the Queen, but I am also your Mother.”<\/p>\n

Her garment, cherry red in color, and with wide folds, is tightened on Her
\nwaist with a belt, dropping down to Her feet, which wear sandals. The blue
\nmantle, gathered on Her breast, is tied on Her right shoulder and descends like
\na Royal Mantle.<\/p>\n

Baby Jesus, seated on Her left maternal knee, is in the act of blessing with
\nHis right hand, while His left hand holds the world with a Cross. He wears a
\nwhite little tunic and a blue mantle, with the same fashion as the one of the
\nVirgin Mother, similar to Greek costumes.<\/p>\n

On the right side, upon the clouds, at the feet of the Madonna, there is a
\nlittle bell, while on the left side a vertical large crack is on the board.<\/p>\n

In the antique memories, two opinions explain why this Image received the
\nname of Greek Madonna.<\/p>\n

The first one says that the name of the tower in whose vault the apparition
\noccurred was called Greek Tower, since it had been built by the Greeks during
\nthe time in which they dominated Puglie. The second one says that the name
\ncomes from the Greek style of the garment of the Madonna.<\/p>\n

Father Cosma Lojodice added a third explanation to the others: that the name
\nderives from the Greek Pastoral Cross which the Virgin holds with Her right
\nhand.<\/p>\n

In any case, we can affirm with certainty that the Most Blessed Virgin likes
\nthis title, because not only in Corato, but also in other cities of the kingdom
\nShe let Herself be called by this title. In fact, in Putignano, a city of this
\nProvince of Bari, there is a great Church dedicated to Saint Mary the Greek,
\nbecause of an ancient Byzantine image portrayed on canvas, which is placed on
\nthe major altar. This ancient image of the Madonna was brought to Putignano by
\nthe Knights of Malta in 1395, together with the relic of Saint Stephen.
\nMoreover, in the city of Ravenna, Lombardia, a miraculous Image of Saint Mary
\nthe Greek has been venerated since the year 1100 in the Church of Canonici
\nPortoghesi; and from that veneration the Congregation of Canonici Portuensi
\nstarted.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the image, I believe it is necessary to draw the attention of
\nthe reader to the fact that that wood board on which it is portrayed, except
\nfor some particular circumstances, has never been removed from that vault,
\nwhich drips with thick and constant humidity, still noticeable nowadays, which
\nconsumes and destroys everything. However, although more than three centuries
\nhave passed since the Madonna was pleased to appear, the board has received no
\ndamage, from woodworms or humidity, as if it had been placed there only
\nrecently, while the works of golden wood with which Rev. Don Francesco La
\nMonica had decorated the chapel, including the new altar with which he had
\nsubstituted the previous one, had to be removed in 1764, because of woodworms
\nand humidity, and substituted with more recent works in stucco and travertine.<\/p>\n

Since the year of the Apparition, it was established to solemnly celebrate<\/strong>
\n in the Church the feast of the Virgin, the Sunday which follows July 18.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few years later, Rev. Capitolo, in order to publicly testify his love and
\ndevotion to such a great Protector, established that every year, on the Feast
\nday of the Madonna, the faithful should make a procession toward to vault, and
\nsing a solemn Mass in it. This praiseworthy tradition, so much appreciated by
\nall the people of Corato, lasted for a few more years.<\/p>\n

SOME
\nOF THE MIRACLES<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have already spoken about the Miraculous Apparition of the Image of the
\nMadonna; the sound of the little bell which was heard for the first time in the
\nvault of the tower; the blind lady, Beatrice Dell\u2019Oglio, who regained her
\nsight; the recovery of the city from the pestilence; the present conditions of
\nthe Picture, preserved as intact in the very humid vault. These can be justly
\ncalled miracles.<\/p>\n

– Can. Don Domenico La Monica and Dr. Don Vito Giacomo D\u2019Ambrosio testified
\nthat in the year 1663, when they were just twelve years old, they were in the
\nvault of the Blessed Virgin, while the chosen one of Mary, Father D. Francesco
\nLojodice was exorcising a possessed person, called Dionisio, who had been
\nbrought from Barletta in order to plead the Greek Madonna for the liberation
\nfrom the evil spirit. As sign of respect and great subjection to the prodigious
\nImage, while doing the exorcism, Don Francesco commanded the demon to set that
\nunhappy person free, and to light in one instant all the candles that were
\nplaced before the Madonna, which Father had carefully extinguished before.<\/p>\n

As soon as they started to recite the Laurentane Litanies, at the invocation
\n“Sancta Maria, ora pro eo” [Saint Mary, pray for him], the poor
\npossessed one fell to the ground like a dead body, and at that very moment all
\nthe candles were lit – and they were not few. Dionisio was raised up from the
\nground, safe and sound, and was given back to his parents, who happily and
\njoyously manifested and praised the wonders performed by the Greek Madonna.<\/p>\n

– Don Sebastiano Merra also passed on to posterity that, in the year 1670, a
\ncertain Giovanni from Altamura was brought by his parents to visit our Healing
\nImage. He too had been possessed by an evil spirit for many years, with great
\ntorments, contortions and sufferings. As Don Francesco Antonio Mosca was
\nexorcising the unhappy young man from Altamura, the demon promised to come out;
\nbut then, with vain and futile pretexts and excuses, and with inconceivable
\npretenses, he deluded the promise. Among the rest, he threatened to ruin the
\nbell tower of the Matrice Church, as soon as he had left. This was prohibited
\nto him by Rev. Mosca, who also imposed him, in the Most Holy names of Jesus and
\nMary, to cause no harm of any kind to human beings, animals or buildings. The
\ndemon said that, because he was forced by his implacable enemy (the Most Holy
\nVirgin) to abandon that residence, which he had freely possessed for so many
\nyears, he wanted to give a sign, which had not to be opposed. Questioned on
\nwhat the sign would be, he said: \u2018I want straw to rain upon all Corato.\u2019
\nPerhaps he was forced by the Madonna to give that sign, to show how the souls
\nof impenitent sinners fall into hell. The permission was granted. In the
\nmeantime they started the Litanies to the Virgin; and as the prodigious Image
\nwas uncovered, the possessed Giovanni collapsed to the floor, while tiny and
\nthick straw began to rain upon Corato like snow, causing amazement and great
\nsurprise in those who ignored what was happening before the portentous Image.
\nAs the Litanies were completed, free from the demon and with no harm, Giovanni
\nwas raised up from the floor, and recovering immediately from the diabolical
\ntrouble, he gave thanks to the Madonna, and went back home, safe and sound.<\/p>\n

– On July 15, 1710, Fr. Domenico Candido was caught by a deadly fever. The
\nSaturday before the Feast of the Apparition of the Greek Madonna, he offered
\nhis life to God, since the doctors despaired of his recovery, among the crying
\nof his family and of all the good people who had admired him as an exemplary
\nPriest. They were already preparing the funerals, when the mother of the dying
\nimplored Heaven to grant what men could neither promise nor concede. Making an
\nheroic resolution, which only her maternal and Christian love could inspire in
\nher, went crying to the feet of the Image of the Greek Madonna together with
\nher other three children. How much faith and trust does a Christian mother not
\nhave in these similar circumstances?<\/p>\n

After singing the Litanies, she also offered a Mass at the Altar of the
\nMadonna. Maria, Who is Mother, and Mother of sorrows, and Who had given Herself
\nto our fathers in a similar circumstance of mourning and sorrow, could not
\nremain indifferent in front of such mourning and pain of a mother, who had left
\nher son dying in his bed to have recourse to Her.<\/p>\n

At the moment of the elevation of the Most Holy Host, the illness
\nimmediately lost its vehemence, and stopped. The agonizing Fr. Domenico felt
\nmuch better, and recovering completely in a few days, went to thank his great
\nBenefactor for having saved his life. He celebrated Mass at Her Altar and
\noffered precious sacramentals as sign of gratitude. Fr. Domenico celebrated
\nwith great magnificence the Festivity of the Virgin for many years; and as long
\nas he lived, he greatly promoted devotion and veneration to Her. He also left
\nin his testament the order to his heirs to light a candle before the Altar of
\nthe Madonna every Saturday.<\/p>\n

Before closing this chapter, for greater honor and glory to our Greek
\nMadonna, and as a confirmation of all that is written above, I feel the duty to
\npublish what follows.<\/p>\n

– Only one year after my nomination as Parish Priest of Santa Maria Greca,
\non February 11, 1938, I was suddenly caught by an intense fit of angina
\npectoris, which reduced me to extreme conditions; so I asked for the
\nadministration of the last Sacraments.<\/p>\n

Moved by great confidence in the mercy and power of our Holy Virgin, some
\nsouls immediately went to the feet of the miraculous Image. With prayers, tears
\nand sighs, they asked Her to preserve me for the care of the new flock which
\nthe Lord had entrusted to me. Around midnight, the people around me started to
\nnotice a slight improvement; and at about four in the morning, all of a sudden,
\nI felt completely recovered, announcing to all, among tears of consolation,
\nthat the Madonna had granted me the grace of instantly freeing me from any pain
\nand illness.<\/p>\n

So I conclude here, for the honor and the glory of our Virgin, these
\nHistorical Memories about our Greek Madonna, in this year, 1956, in which we
\nare about to celebrate the Third Centenary of Her Apparition.<\/p>\n

A
\nSAD OBSERVATION…<\/strong><\/p>\n

A PIOUS DESIRE<\/p>\n

For many, many years, one has no longer heard the devoted and harmonious
\nchanting of the large and numerous groups of pilgrims who came from afar in
\norder to visit, to thank, to offer gifts and vows to our Image, as it happens
\nstill now in Gargano, at Incoronata, at Saint Nicholas, and in many other
\nShrines. Those pilgrims used to silently cross our city, where their fathers
\ncame in order to venerate the Image of the Greek Madonna.<\/p>\n

The near and neighboring cities have forgotten our portentous Protector.
\nThat multitude of devoted people who thronged in our little Sanctuary, in which
\ntheir sick invoked the Greek Madonna for relief and remedy to their troubles,
\nno longer comes from them. Even many Coratini [people from Corato] seem to have
\nforgotten their Protector, Her vault, Her venerated Image, therefore becoming
\nmore responsible than others for this deplorable oblivion.<\/p>\n

Oh, if Lojodice, Candido, La Monica, and many other zealous Priests of the
\ndevotion our Protector, could raise their heads from the dust of their
\nsepulchers – how surprised they would remain at the sight of so much
\ningratitude toward that venerable Image which freed our fathers from the
\npestilence, which cured many sick, healed many crippled, freed many possessed
\nsouls, and made everyone feel the benefits of Her protection!!…..<\/p>\n

Oh, how much just and holy indignation would not ignite their apostolic
\nzeal, toward such degenerate citizens!<\/p>\n

May such sorrowful indifference, and such ungrateful oblivion cease once and
\nfor all, at the rising of a new and multiplied spirit of faith and love toward
\nsuch a great Mama; and may this Third Centenary of the Apparition of the
\nMadonna restore in all the devoted, near and far, the sincere fervor which
\nanimated our ancient Fathers.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In writing these few historical memories, I had no other purpose than a
\ngreater honor and a greater glory to the Most Holy Virgin. I ask Her nothing
\nelse but to continue to pour upon me and upon all the Coratini that maternal
\nprotection which never failed us, though unworthy, and that one day She may
\ngrant me eternal life, remembering what is written in the Ecclesiasticus
\nXXIV-31: “Qui elucidant Me, vitam aeternam habebunt.”<\/p>\n
