MADONNINA
It 's the title of the article published on page. 8 of the newsletter "Together" n. 5 / 79.
I think it useful to call back to mind an event that marked the lives of many of us still living and who can teach something to those who were not born yet.
The "boys" have told the newspaper that event as well:
"It's been almost 19 months since the frightening earthquake hit the area of \u200b\u200bMessina and in particular our country.
Then, in one of the many bonfires , which were lit along the streets to keep warm in the nights spent in the open, was found from the small Tindaro Gullo an image of Our Lady of Tindari, pewter, not contaminated by the fire. And
'That's when the idea of \u200b\u200bwanting to build in Pirandello's Square, where the image was found, in memory of the narrow escape, an icon with the statue of the revered Madonna Bruna promontory above Oliveri.
The initiative promoted by our countryman Gary Gullo, father of the child Tindaro has been widely accepted especially by the inhabitants of that district and, after passing the various bureaucratic hurdles, the first of November were completed jobs construction of the chapel designed by Profs. Blonde and Sidoti.
the afternoon of 11 November with just a beautiful ceremony, attended by many faithful, the priest Don Luigi Lo Presti has solemnly blessed the statue was enthroned after.
Shortly after Mr. Gaetano Gullo has reported to those present about the work done.
E 'followed by S. Mass meditated preceded by the recitation of the Holy Rosario.
During his homily, our Rev.mo Don Luigi Lo Presti's, among others, said the new chapel is to be a strong sign of our devotion to Our Lady of Tindari and a call to your powerful intercession in us , who had escaped the danger of the earthquake of April 16, 1978 .-
the donations collected amounts to Lire 667,000.
were offered by Companies Rooms: 10 lamps, ballasts for fluorescent, 15 meters of electric wire and iron required for the concrete structure.
THE DOCUMENTED COSTS AMMOTANO A LIT 635,000.
REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR ANY LANDSCAPING LIT 47,000 .-
____________________________________
Since then, every year, the evening Mass will be celebrated on 7 September in the small chapel built in Piazza Pirandello.
Many of the faithful, on this occasion, rather than opens up to Tindari, prefer to gather in the square to pray the rosary and listen to S. Mass as a sign of devotion and thanksgiving to the Madonna Bruna .-
