The dedication of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of Loreto. This is one of the major and most important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with Lourdes in the French Pyrenees and Fatima in Portugal. Unlike the other two, however, Loreto is not known for apparitions of the Virgin Mary. There, pilgrims can see something very tangible: the house where Mary grew up in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents—not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament—are named in apocryphal traditions: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their feast day in the liturgical calendar is July 26). It is likely that Crusaders, as the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century, dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and transported it to Europe. However, this very sober assumption is contrasted by a much more interesting legend: According to this legend, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house across the Mediterranean.

"This charming medieval village is located on the southern slope of the Madonie, a mountain range that offers breathtaking landscapes and a rich history. With its 2,920 inhabitants, Petralia Soprana is the highest municipality of the Madonie and one of the highest in the whole of Sicily. The town is included in the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy and was proclaimed "Borgo dei borghi 2018"."

"The Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Olio is located in the municipality of Blufi, 660 meters above sea level. This place of silence and peace is located in the open countryside, about 2 km from the town of Blufi. The name "Madonna dell'Olio" could derive from the nearby source of mineral oil, used as a remedy for some skin diseases, or it could allude to the presence of olive groves in the area in ancient times. The current church, of eighteenth-century construction, houses the statue of the Madonna, the work of the sculptor Filippo Quattrocchi. The oil of the Madonna, commonly called "Olio della Madonna," is used as a remedy for some skin diseases and as a vermifuge". ²: [Santuario della Madonna dell'Olio (Blufi) - Wikipedia](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuario_della_Madonna_dell%27Olio_%28Blufi%29) ³: [The Sanctuary of the Madonna dell’Olio | www.palermoviva.it](https://www.palermoviva.it/il-santuario-della-madonna-dellolio/) Conversation with Copilot 8/24/2024 (1) Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Olio (Blufi) - Wikipedia. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santuario_della_Madonna_dell%27Olio_%28Blufi%29.

I have been there several times and have never seen the church open. But the place is still very beautiful, especially the panoramic path to the right of the church.

XVII century - (private) It was built by Baron Pietro Calderari. Its façade expands to the left of the viewer, to show the eighteenth-century stone fountain. In the center of the square which takes its name from the church of the same name there is the magnificent circular fountain. Source: https://comune.petraliasoprana.pa.it/
