The Holy House of Loreto: the house of the Virgin Mary who came from Nazareth
One house, two stories, and one journey. The house venerated today in Loreto is, according to Christian tradition, the same house in Nazareth where the Virgin Mary lived and where the Annunciation took place. It is not a symbolic reconstruction or a later replica, but a specific, identified house…

Sometimes what prompts withdrawal is something more subtle and, at the same time, deeper: weariness…
