About this sermon
Less than one mile away – in what may seem like a juxtaposition to the archaeological site – is another site that draws an equally impressive number of visitors each year: the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii. The history of the shrine is connected to the story of a man named Bartolo Longo (February 10, 1841 – October 5, 1926) who underwent a radical conversion. From being a satanic priest he turned to be a saint. After his conversion he soon began promoting an association and festival in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary. He obtained a painting of Our Lady of the Rosary from a convent in Naples, restored the image, and placed it in the church. Soon miracles began to be reported there and pilgrims began flocking in droves to the church
