    "The origins of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Vena should date back to 597 of the Christian era. Some Basilian monks, to escape persecution, climbed the heights of Etna, bringing with them a picture of the Madonna, painted on a cedar panel .
    A legend has it that the mule carrying the painting stopped at a certain point and began to dig the ground with its hooves, and at that point a "vein" of water appeared.
