Commemorated on April 22
One day around noon, a pious farmer named Bertolino stopped gathering firewood to rest under an olive tree on a little hill outside the walls of Giulianova, near the Adriatic Sea. He was about to get up when he saw a light in the branches, and in its center the Virgin Mary, who said, "Get up, Bertolino, rise and hurry to Giulianova, and spread throughout the area the good news that the Great Mother of God has made her home here. Tell the clergy to come with a solemn procession to honor me and to build a sanctuary where you see me now." Bertolino told the duke's governor, who laughed with his friends and thought the man mad or drunk. The messenger went home dejected. The next day he returned to the tree, where the Madonna reappeared and encouraged him to go back to the governor, but his second attempt had the same result as the first. The third day, he knelt under the tree, where the Virgin again urged him to assure the governor of the truth of her request. Again he went back. One of the governor's men struck him, to the amusement of those present. But when the assailant fell mute and paralyzed, the governor believed, and called the clergy and people to go in procession to the site. They all saw the shining Virgin, and under the tree, a spring had welled up (still there). Bertolino's attacker asked forgiveness and regained movement and voice. News of the apparition coincided with the end of a plague that had devastated the whole region except for Giulianova. In commemoration the town holds an annual festa featuring a horse parade every year on April 22 -- the date of the first apparition in 1557, according to local tradition. There was a Celestine monastery dedicated to the Radiant Madonna in the area since at least 1523. The 32" walnut statue is also older than the apparition. Mons. Alessandro Zanecchi, Bishop of Teramo, solemnly crowned it on August 15, 1914. Artist Umberto Degano, from the woodcarving center of Urtijëi in the Dolomites, fashioned the present sunburst, tree, and kneeling visionary in the 1950s. A second coronation under Vatican auspices took place April 22, 1964. A newer statue is used for the April 22 procession. (Information from Giulianova sul Web, www.giulianova.it.
