In 1560 a fire devoured the church of the Franciscans, but the consecrated host was intact on the ashes, although the ostensory had melted.
Documented history and memory received
Morrovalle recalls the fire of the Franciscan convent on April 17, 1560. According to tradition, a preserved form appeared between the remains of the altar and the ostensory. Church inquiries were carried out and a local cult was developed, but the relic suffered another fire in 1926 and can no longer be presented as an intact object currently available. The document retains the history of the sanctuary and labels the prodigy as a memory received, without affirming a contemporary physical expertise.
Who venerates the memory
The look is directed to Jesus Christ and to the mystery of his Incarnation, Passion, Death, Resurrection or Reign. The image, relic, monument or custom does not act by its own power: it serves the memory of the Gospel and leads to prayer, sacraments, conversion and charity.
