The Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto refers to the house where the Blessed Mother Mary was born and the Annunciation occurred. It appeared in Loreto, Italy on December 10, 1294, when tradition has it, that angels transported it from the Holy Land to Italy as the crusaders were driven out of Palestine. It’s the first shrine of international renown dedicated to the Immaculate Mother Mary and has been there for centuries.
