Santuario dell'Icona Passatora, Romanesque shrine in Ferrazza, Italy
The Santuario dell'Icona Passatora stands at 1057 meters above sea level on a plateau beneath the Laga Mountains in the Rieti province.
The church was constructed around 1480 to house a small tabernacle known as Madonna di Canalicchio, which dates back to the early 14th century.
The interior walls display complete fresco coverage, including the Madonna della Misericordia from 1491 and Cristo Portacroce from approximately 1490.
The sanctuary opens for religious ceremonies throughout the year and celebrates its main festival on the second Sunday of August.
The building features a Romanesque facade made of sandstone with a Solomon's Knot symbol representing the connection between human and divine realms.
