Ex votos
A postcard from 1959 of the Madonna of Montenero, the patron of the Italian region Tuscany.
At the time the picture was taken the Madonna was still covered in many votive offerings, which have now been removed.
The origins of the shrine go back to 1345. Tradition holds that a lame shepherd found the painting at the foot of the hill known as Montenero. In a vision he was instructed to carry it to the top of the hill. When he arrived there he was miraculously cured from his lameness.

Welcome
Welcome to All about Mary, a new page about Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
I am a young Catholic with a great devotion for Mary. I often find it astounding how much she means to people and how much they love her. And that includes non-religious people and those of other faiths.
On this page I want to celebrate the Virgin Mary’s past and present significance by sharing with you images, stories, devotions, traditions and prayers relating to this great woman, who all generations were to call blessed.
Ave Maria! Hail Mary!
