Our Lady of Graces (Italian: ''Madonna delle Grazie'' or ''Nostra Signora delle Grazie'') or St Mary of Graces (Italian: ''Santa Maria delle Grazie'') is a devotion to the Virgin Mary in the Roman Catholic Church. Churches with this dedication often owe their foundation to thankfulness for graces received from the Virgin Mary, and are particularly numerous in Italy, India, Australia, United States, France and the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. ==Patronage== Our Lady of Graces is the patron saint of the diocese of Faenza. According to a legend, in 1412, Mary appeared to a local woman. Mary was holding broken arrows symbolizing protection against God's wrath and promised an end to the plague. Faenza Cathedral has a chapel dedicated to Our Lady, while residents often place ceramic titles with the image on their homes.〔(Brochure of Faenza Cathedral )〕 Other Italian towns that have Our Lady of Graces as their patron saint include: *Minturno *Cautano *Decimoputzu. *Nettuno (where Nostra Signora delle Grazie e Santa Maria Goretti is part-dedicated to her) *Ricadi *Sanluri *Toritto 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Our Lady of Graces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
