House of Loreto

Perhaps you recall last Monday's "incident" when Pope Francis tried to prevent a number of people from kissing his ring, but that is not what interested me that day (you can find a report of the actually important events of that visit here). It was March 25th, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, when we celebrate Mary's miraculous conception of the Son of God by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

By tradition, the house where that blessed event occurred was miraculously transported to where it is now in Italy, (and yes, you guessed it!, that's where Pope Francis was.)

Here is a short documentary about the house:


Here is a more thorough documentary that you can watch on Amazon.
