📍 1 pilgrimage site

A venerated Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary housed at the Santuario della Consolata in Turin, Italy. According to tradition, the icon was brought from the Holy Land in the 4th century and given to St. Maximus, Bishop of Turin. The icon depicts Mary as the "Hodegetria" (she who shows the way), pointing to Jesus as the source of salvation. The feast is celebrated on June 20th, commemorating the miraculous healing of a blind pilgrim named Jean who was led by visions of Mary to discover the lost icon in 1104.
