Madonna della Rovere, Roble San Bartolomeo al Mare, Italy
Commemorated on April 18, May 10
The Madonna della Rovere is an ancient devotion from an image that was found on Oak. There were two apparitions of the Virgin Mary and several miraculous healings in the seventeenth century.
San Bartolomeo al Mare is a town and commune in the province of Imperia, Liguria region in northwest Italy.
The ancient and vast territory in the medieval village of Oak is located, is between the towns of Cervo and Diano. In the pre-Roman era was called "Lucus Bormani" where "Lucus" means "sacred forest", "Bor" to "source" and "man", "dedicated", whereby the "Lucus Bormani" means " sacred grove dedicated to the god Borman "the god of springs, cruel and bloodthirsty. The Romans also devoted to the jungle forests Diana, goddess of the hunt, so the town of Diano called "Pagus Dianius".
The five oak trees that still surround the Shrine of Robre are the last remnants of the ancient forest. In 1977-1982, the Archaeological Superintendence of Liguria has unearthed north of the church, the ruins of a "Roman mansio", ie a place with six rooms designed for troops and changing horses. Moreover, during the work of consolidating the right of the facade of the church, three Roman tombs from the late III-IV century AD, the remains of a small village that is still preserved were discovered. This suggests that a sacred building, possibly dating back to the early Christian era or Byzantine almeno existed there.
This ancient origin have only historical evidence on the part of the old apse and in ancient image of the Virgin and Child from the XIV century. It is said that the statue was found in an oak, but perhaps more real time is the fact that the statue was made of oak timber in which the Virgin appeared.
PERATO Giacinto di Rollo, 50, the night of April 3, 1671, after working all day in the field, called his wife saying his arm was hurt. The left arm was dead, insensible to pinching and medical punctures. After several tips for healing, no result was obtained.
A few days later, on April 18, taking his arm in a sling, took his donkey to graze in the area of the town of Armea. It happened a singular thing described with these words:
"A few hours before noon, a few steps ahead of me, I saw a woman dressed in turquoise shining like the sun ... She told me that I entrust the Madonna that will help me . "
Also requested information from his illness and said that next week outside the shrine to pray for the grace of healing. The woman said that when there is an important task, do not let time pass. Then he told me to go to the Madonna della Rovere to fulfill the vow he had made. In his heart he thought that this woman was Mary, She left for the mountains while had come by sea.
Many more miracles were attributed to the Virgin in 1608, in that year, the Virgin appeared in the window of the church steeple. History

SANCTUARY
The "Oak Shrine" is one of the oldest and best known of Liguria, whether by miraculous healings that have occurred, both the flow of pilgrims and tourists who have been to stop and pause for prayer. It is in the vast basin between Capo Cervo and Capo Berta Italian Riviera, in the town of San Bartolomeo al Mare, near the Via Aurelia. It is a pearl set in a medieval village, among olive trees and oaks, pines and palms, oleanders and geraniums, bougainvillea hedges and avenues of orange and lemon trees.
The sanctuary of the Madonna della Rovere, is excellent in its architectural lines, but lacks unity, since it was built in several stages with overlapping styles.
The historian of the Diocese of Albenga, Leo Raimondi, taking into account the age of the two major parties, the Assumption and the Purification of Mary (held on August 15 and February 2 respectively), implies the existence of a chapel in Oak from the seventh and eighth centuries AD. It is documented, however, its existence in 1353. In fact, this year, under the mother church Cervo San Jorge, was the Villa de Santa María de Rovere and there was a small church dedicated to St. Mary. According to their architecture seems to have been oriented to the north.
In mid-1400, the church had a single nave with a bell tower on the left, triple gateway on the facade and eye on this window. This is reproduced in Flemish painting that dates back precisely half of 1400.
The Oak Church was dedicated to the Annunciation on July 27, 1505. This information is mentioned in the act of dismemberment of the parish of Cervo, to create the new San Bartolomeo, which the della Rovere was a fraction.
From the second half of 1500, the church underwent a radical change, and was built with three naves. The Renaissance portal dates from 1553 and octagonal pillars and double slits of the right aisle are of the same year. Probably the bell is from the same era.
In 1602, the bell tower was open on three sides to expand the ship. In 1646 the dome in the nave and in 1647, left the ship was built. In 1860 it was reconstructed neoclassical facade.
CATALAN CRUCIFIX
At the bottom of the right aisle in a beautiful setting of polychrome marble, is a Catalan fifteenth century crucifix.
The history of this cross is linked to the passage of a group of French pilgrims. Probably a company "flagellanti".
Asked to spend the night in the church of the Oak, and the next morning when they went to the church to take the crucifix found so firmly embedded in the ground that could not move. While praying to try to raise the voice of Christ was heard: "Where's the Mother is the Son." So the olive wood crucifix remained in the church.
