History - Miracle on the Olive Tree in Giulianova

April 22nd 1557, Bertolino from Giulianova cuts an olive tree. From the trunk light comes out, the Madonna appears saying Don't cut me, build a church here. Miraculous water starts flowing from the trunk. Still today there is the source under the altar. 180-degree sea view, the most beautiful on the Teramo coast. Original photo CC0.
