Madonna dei Miracoli (Motta di Livenza, Treviso, Veneto, Italy)
Commemorated on March 9
On the morning of March 9, 1510, Giovanni Cigana, aged 79, went to get a friend's help plowing his field. On the way, he stopped to pray at a wayside shrine, saying seven Our Fathers and seven Hail Marys. Walking on, he was surprised to see a beautiful girl in white seated on the green wheat. "God give you a good day," he said. "Good day and good year," she answered. They spoke a little, when suddenly he had an understanding that this was the Mother of God and fell to his knees. The radiant girl stood up and asked that he, his family, and the people of Treviso fast for three Saturdays in repentance to obtain Christ's pardon for their sins, and that a church be built on the site. "My Lady, no one will believe me," the old man said. "This evening, I'll give you a sign in the sun," she replied. After his friend agreed to plow the field, Cigana went home and told the story. That evening, the sun appeared blood red. Within a few days, the people of the area had built a wooden church, soon known as Our Lady of Miracles for the many blessings dispensed there. On September 16, 1513, a new stone church was consecrated, placed under the care of the Friars Minor of the Observance. The sanctuary celebrates the feast of the Madonna dei Miracoli annually on March 9, and the 500th anniversary in 2010.

History
the Mother of Jesus appeared to a pious old man with 20 years recited every day S. Rosary and knelt in front of a happy "Capital" of the Virgin Mary, located at the intersection of the roads for Motta, Oderzo and Redigole. Even the morning of March 9 the Cigana, going to work, he stopped there to pray, and then continued on his way. But soon he stopped, struck by a marvelous vision: sitting quietly on the green wheat in a field, there was a beautiful young girl, dressed in white. Between the old and amazed the mysterious girl, he played a simple and friendly dialogue, then when the Cigana knew it was the Holy Virgin, fell to his knees, as if shot and sat in silence. So in the fresh morning sounded the voice of Madonna full of sadness and pity. She ordered Cigana to fast with the family for three Saturdays and preach fasting and repentance to all the people of Motta and the towns and villages of the land trevisana: Who had fasted with true repentance, he would have received mercy and forgiveness from the Lord, angry for too many sins of the people. To then leave an indelible memory of his beloved land of apparitions in Motta, the Virgin ordered that in that place was to be built a church.
