A 12-year-old boy is alive thanks to a miracle of the Madonna della Rocca

The miraculous intervention of the Our Lady of the Rock saves a 12-year-old boy who was in danger of being crushed.

The Madonna della Rocca di Cornuda is a church located in the city of Cornuda, in the province of Treviso, Italy. The church is situated on a hill overlooking the city and the surrounding valley.

The church of the Madonna della Rocca di Cornuda dates back to the XNUMXth century and was built at the behest of the bishop of Treviso, who wished to have a place of worship dedicated to the Madonna in that area. The church has undergone various renovations and expansions over the years.

Inside the church there are some valuable works of art, including a wooden statue of the Madonna and Child and frescoes depicting episodes from the life of Christ. The church is also known for its panoramic position which offers spectacular views over the town of Cornuda and the surrounding countryside.

Each year, the August 15th, the church celebrates the feast of the Madonna della Rocca with a procession and a solemn mass. The church is open to visitors all year round and is a place of worship and spirituality much appreciated by the faithful of the area.

The miracle of the Madonna della Rocca

One of the graces linked to the Madonna della Rocca dates back to 1725. Pier Francesco, 12 years old at the time, tries to detach, together with his friend, a huge boulder leaning against the wall. However, as the rock falls, it crushes the boy.

As soon as he realizes what has happened, the family runs to try to free him. Raising the rock, all those present are shocked when they realize that Pier Francesco is miraculously unharmed. Even today in that spot there is a votive tablet, which bears witness to what happened.

The origin of the statue of the Madonna della Rocca, with the Child Jesus in her arms and dressed in precious fabrics, protected in a niche of gilded wood and crystal, is still unknown.
