The patronage of this sanctuary, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the place LORETO. This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with LOURDES in the French Pyrenees and FATIMA in Portugal. In contrast to the other two mentioned places, Loreto did not become known through apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can be shown something very tangible: The parental home of Mary in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents – who are not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament – are named in apocryphal traditions: Saint ANNA and Saint JOACHIM are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the calendar of saints is on July 26th). Probably Crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the building revered in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to it, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.
