Exposition of the image of the Madonna Della Cava kicked off the 96th annual feast on August 12, 2016 in Boston’s North End. The image of Maria SS Della Cava, Principal Patron of Pietraperzia, Sicily was rediscovered miraculously in the year 1223 by a mute from Trapani who was directed by Our Lady to proceed to the outskirts of the town where the portrait of Our Lady would be found. In the process, his speech and hearing were restored. The first words emitted by the mute were, “VIVA MARIA SS DELLA CAVA.” Here are pictures of the opening night ceremonies and procession.
