The Basilian, although Catholics, play the Byzantine rite spreading this devotion that goes back centuries as the history of Our Lady of Constantinople. "
"A Senise - Don Pino continues - there was a very ancient; a painting on canvas that in circumstances still unclear, you do not even know at the time, was destroyed by fire. This event was experienced by the population as an extraordinary, miraculous (though we can not speak of a miracle).Of this ancient icon was saved only the face of the Madonna and the Child Jesus and it was this icon that has been revered in these more recent times surrounded these faces, miraculously escaped the fire, a red velvet that covered almost the entire part destroyed and burned.

Description
Description of the icon
In the framework of the Madonna of Constantinople is written in greek the Marian title "Mother of God"; the presence of three stars indicates the virginity of Mary before, during and after childbirth; the golden background the presence of God's joy, the red cloak, the fullness of the Holy Spirit that made Mary, Mother of God. Artistically, the image reveals the intimate union between Christ and Mary. In fact, a cult that does not have the center of the mystery of Jesus Christ does not make sense, Mary is the Mother of God because Jesus is true God and true man.
