Marian devotion
Origin and history
The Consolata is the patron of Turin, of very ancient devotion (Romanesque structure documented in the 10th century). The tradition places the foundational miracle in 1104: a blind man, Giovanni Ravacchio, found the Marian image by indication of the Virgin in the dream and regained his sight. She was proclaimed patron of Turin in 1714, in gratitude for the protection of the city. His sanctuary bears the hand of Guarini and Juvarra.
Party and devotion
«Consolata» significa la que consuela: Turín acude a ella en cada necesidad, y de su santuario salió la espiritualidad de san José Cafasso y san José Allamano.
Link to the Rosary
In the face of this venerated image, the Rosary becomes the simple prayer of ever: to take account and speak with the Mother, ten to ten. Who prays the Rosary here joins the centuries of pilgrims who entrusted their sorrows and graces to Mary.
