The feast of Saint Mary the Crowned of Carmel, commonly known as Our Lady of the HensШаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp or Madonna of the HensШаблон:SfnpШаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp (Шаблон:Lang-it), is a religious and civil festival annually celebrated in Pagani, Campania.
History
Popular tradition has it that a wooden panel depicting the Virgin of Carmel was kept in a church perched in the mountains of Tramonti (Шаблон:Lit); one night, the Madonna appeared to the sacristan in a dream, asking him to tell the priest to repair the crumbling church, otherwise she would have gone away, to a town where "even the hens" would have loved her. The sacristan reported everything to the priest, but the latter took it lightly; the consequences were serious: there was, in fact, a strong storm, and the mud carried the painting with it downstream, to the territory of the municipality of Pagani.
In the 16th century, on the Octave Day of Easter, some hens, scratching in a chicken coop, brought to light the small wooden panel.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:SfnpШаблон:SfnpШаблон:Efn
The image is said to have performed eight miracles. It all began in 1609, when a cripple, who had fallen asleep in front of a dressing room belonging to the ancient parish of San Felice, where the panel found by the hens was kept, saw the Madonna in his sleep; she invited him to get up and throw away his crutches because he was healed. The evident miracle attracted general attention to the small oratory, and in a very short time there were new healings: between 1609 and 1610 there were seven other miracles that confirmed in the faithful the devotion to the 'Madonna of the Hens' in and out of the Agro nocerino-sarnese.Шаблон:Sfnp
It was then decided the building of a more worthy church to welcome the faithful, and in 1610 Msgr. Lunadoro, bishop of Nocera de' Pagani, tells us that "thanks to the help of the devout people, who give large alms, a much more capable church is begun" to be built in the place where the hens had found the panel.Шаблон:Sfnp The work had to proceed very quickly considering that Msgr. Stefano de Vicari, in his pastoral visit made in 1615, speaks of a 'newly built church' (Шаблон:Lang-la).
Due to the deterioration of the original painting, the image was reproduced on canvas and placed in this purpose-built church, namely the Shrine of Our Lady of the Hens.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp
In August 1786 the diocesan bishop, Msgr. Benedetto dei Monti Sanfelice, published a decree with which the chapter of Saint Peter in the Vatican decided to solemnly crown the 'Madonna delle Galline' in gratitude for the protection of Mary to the population. The coronation ceremony took place in 1787.
Celebration
Шаблон:Expand Italian At dawn on Monday, the tammorrari, engaged for three days and three nights to play and dance in the toselli, go in procession to the sanctuary, where they deposit their instruments at the feet of the Virgin and, thanking her, make an act of submission, and then, without ever turning your back to the altar, leave the sanctuary singing the ancient popular song Madonna de la Grazia.[1]
Traditional food
Along with the typical Easter food, like Шаблон:Ill or casatiello, the traditional dishes of this festival are tagliolini with ragù (meat sauce), savory pies and grilled stuffed artichokes - barbecued on the furnacella (Neapolitan, literally 'little furnace'), a traditional outdoor cooking device, basically a square charcoal barbecue grill.
By eating the aforementioned tagliolini, tradition has it that you stain your shirt with the meat sauce. The stain is called schizzetto, that is 'little sketch' in Italian.
Recognition
The Шаблон:Ill has recognized the event as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Italy (Шаблон:Lang-it).Шаблон:Sfnp
