Sanctuary of Divino Amore.
Rome, ItalyAbout
Sanctuary of Divino Amore., (on Via Ardeatina outside the GRA ring road. 218 Bus, approximately every half hour. Alternatively, every Saturday night, from Easter until the end of October, a night Pilgrimage on foot sets out at midnight from Piazza di Porta Capena, Rome, and reaches the Sanctuary at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning.), [13]. This is an important place of pilgrimage for Catholics because of the supposedly miraculous powers of an image of the Virgin Mary. The first miracle was in 1740 when a traveller being attacked by a pack of dogs called out to the Virgin's image for rescue and the dogs calmed down. More recently, the image was moved to Rome in the Second World War and is cred with saving the city from destruction, as a result of which Romans vowed to construct this new sanctuary.
