miraculous image in the sanctuary of Bra, near Turin. The lovely Lady appeared on 29 December 1336 threatened the woman Egidia Mathis and protected them against their pursuers. La "Madonna dei Fiori" is especially revered as a protector of a happy motherhood. On 29 December bring many mothers their children in the sanctuary and dedicate it "Our Lady of the Flowers. On 29 December 1336 the miracle happened. Since then, there a wild, thorny plum tree blooms twice annually, in December and a few months later, again in the spring. In December, he bears only flowers in spring contrast, flowers, leaves and fruit. On 29
December 1336 crossed the pretty young woman Edigia Mathis hurry to her apartment in the town of Bra. She returned from a visit to beloved relatives who lived in the countryside outside home. She had probably brought there all sorts of advice, because they saw their first fully joyful concern Child contrary. All too quickly the trusted hours had passed at home and now spread very early evening shadows over the winter stubble.
Egidia quickened her steps. It was at that time not a good idea to go out in the dark. Starving, neglected mercenaries from France, Spain, Germany and Switzerland, who were released from rival lords in the winter time without notice and without pay often painted, yield about greedy. Woe to those who were vulnerable in their hands!
Egidia always peered anxiously through the gray mist. Suddenly she was startled breath. Were up ahead at the crossroads, where they had to pass, not two such sinister fellows? Yes, since they ran toward her with vicious laughter. Driven by fear of death, Egidia hurried with his last strength to a shrine by the roadside, the decorated with a painting of the Virgin Mary with the divine child, and cried, the Madonna clutching: "Oh Mary, help"
As yet the ruthless mercenary hands reached for her, broke out from the shrine niche suddenly heavenly light. In majestic beauty seemed the queen of heaven. protectively with her left hand the trembling Egidia, dismissed the mother of all mothers away from punishing the immoral companions. Before the eyes of the purest taken the monsters in a wild panic.
looked infinitely grateful to the brave, young woman up to their savior, they calmed down, smiling, before she disappeared.
The loan crises terror but had strong Egidia tired and weakened. Exhausted, they fell at the feet of the shrine, which was entwined by a wild, half-frozen plum tree down. But soon she was awakened by faint whimper from her brief fainting. Before her, on the winter cold floor, her infant was probably born. And while Egidia full maternal love quickly, as well as she could and then concealed her treasure, she saw full unspeakable wonder, like the wild plum bushes, which had before the appearance of his frozen branches stretched arm and empty into the icy Bise, now full of white flowers shone.
The Paradise of the Immaculate eyes had it, the thorny wild stock, to witness their wonder chosen and made the middle of winter, with thousands of white, pristine flowers a symbol of purity. As
Egidia arrived happily at home, she told her husband everything. At first he thought she was talking in a fever. When he next day but went out of town, he could enjoy with my own eyes the flowering tree and hundreds with it. Never had a plum tree, shrub or other, there flourished at this time. Beside him, around him and stretched all the other shrubs, still, their bare branches is Himmel.Und gene since it remained so. For more than six hundred years, that adorns plum tree the only one for miles around the middle of winter with the white dress of his miraculous blossoms. Approximately, 20 December to mid January this takes its first heyday. Without leaves, without fruit, as a true, bright white bouquet, he welcomes each new-born Christ child and his purest Mother Mary in the Christmas season. But then it blooms again in spring, with all his other counterparts, and this time he also drives leaves and fruits, such as the normal time. Many naturalists have studied over the centuries with the plum tree of Bra, but until now could not find a proper scientific explanation. Soil conditions, weather, maintenance, underground and surface forces influences have been explored without result. If they came into question, it would also have the other plum trees all around the same type drive double flower. No other shrub, no other tree could, however, despite the best special care, in addition to the flowering tree to flower. By contrast, branches of the miracle tree that was planted elsewhere, and flourished there twice. For example, on
was wish of Pope Leo XIII. a rice of the wild plum tree of Bra in the Vatican Gardens in Rome transplanted. And since then pleased again this tree all by its double flowers in winter and spring!
God's miracle! Those who deny they furnish? Anyone can deal with their own eyes by this natural wonder, which lasts for 600 years to convince, because Bra is just about 50 km from Turin. If one time or another, within long periods of time, turned out the December flowering, then the people of Bra worried the way the people of Naples when the liquefaction of St. Januariusblutes fails and fear afflictions.
today stands on the Miracle Bra facility in a splendid shrine in honor of love, "Madonna dei Fiori", since there Egidia Mathis, countless others, came from fear and worry beleaguered souls to help.
