Commemorated on October 22
The story goes that in the night of October 22, 1598, the Raffa brothers were guarding the castle on Cape Orlando when they heard a noise. They saw a man sound a horn and run away, leaving behind a small box. Inside it the watchmen found a statuette of the Madonna and Child. On October 22, 1600, the image was installed in a new sanctuary on the mountain, where for centuries the Virgin watched over the Cape and protected it from earthquakes, storms, and pirates. In 1925, after the original was stolen, a silver replica was substituted. The region celebrates October 22 with a pilgrimage to the sanctuary and procession through the streets.
