Our Lady Of The Hill Or Mountain
Year :
The sanctuary of the Sacred Hill at Varese in Lombardy, Italy, is said to have had its origin in a chapel built to commemorate Our Lady’s appearing to Saint Ambrose there during the later fourth-century.
Primarily, the “Hill” had been dedicated by the pagan people, to the goddess of victory; but Our Lady, as is her wont, asked that the place be built, or rebuilt into a shrine to honor Her Divine Son and herself.
