EVENTO TRASCORSO
Festa della Madonna del Faggio
Comune di Montecopiolo
Festa della Madonna del Faggio is an occasion when pilgrims from various places gather at the shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Beech at the Hermitage of Montecopiolo.
This pilgrimage is called the 'Awakening Walk'.
The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Faggio is located in the heart of the Sasso Simone and Simoncello Park.
Legend has it that among the pastures of the mountain, one day, two shepherd children were helped by the miraculous intervention of the Madonna who appeared to them as a sacred image on a beech tree.
They wanted to transport the image to the valley, to the village, so that they could honour it properly. Miraculously, the next day the sacred image was back on the beech tree. It was a sign that a shrine should be erected there and dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
The shrine is visited throughout the twelve months by the faithful and pilgrims who arrive on foot to participate in the festivities in honour of the Madonna.
