Sunday, December 14
The shrine of Loreto preserves, according to ancient tradition, the House Our Lady of Nazareth. The earthly dwelling of Mary of Nazareth was made up of two parts: a cave dug into the rock, which is still venerated in the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, and a stone house in front.
According to tradition, in 1291, when the crusaders were finally expelled from Palestine by the loss of the Port of Accona, the brick house of the Madonna you transported "to the angelic ministry, first in Illyria and then in the territory of Loreto (December 10, 1294). The association of Loreto
San Justo could not, of course, bring Loreto House here in Argentina, but has managed to infuse the spirit of Loreto in the Cathedral of this city, which now houses a year by the statue of Our Lady of Loreto. The festival, held on a warm Sunday in December, began with the Eucharistic celebration, presided over by the chaplain of the Italian community. The Edelweiss Choir paid tribute to Madonna, encouraging atmosphere of meditation and prayer.
Then the community took part in this along with several sister organizations in the procession, held in the square outside. The festivities ended with the bursting of firecrackers and some toast in the gymnasium of a parochial school. Maria Bruno, the president of the Loreto, thanked those present, and especially, the parish priest, Fr Daniel, P. Fabrizio, president FACIA, José Serra, and the chairman of COMITES Morón, Francisco Rotundo.
