Vicovaro. Festival of St. Mary Advocate Nostra

The image of "Advocate Nostra"of  Vicovaro began to manifest miracles in 1796.

At that time in many places of the Papal States several images began to manifest something: these were the years of the French Revolution and in Italy there was much fear of the "Jacobins" (the French and their sympathizers).

In Vicovaro a similar event occurred in San Cosimato and the Temple of St. James.

In memory, on the first Sunday of September the painting of the Temple of San Giacomo is carried in procession by all the brotherhoods of Vicovaro.
