Vasto - Procession for the Sacra Spina / La Sacra Spina in processione
, by Paola Calvano
Pilkington from San Salvo donated a bulletproof container for the precious relic, which will be shown tomorrow at Santa Maria Maggiore then moved to Molise. The Sacra Spina comes from the Holy Land and was donated in 1300 by the Pope to Marquis D'Avalos. The first miracle dates to 1645, when in a fire only the relic was spared. Every year just before history the Spina appears covered of a white wool (like it was going to bloom).
