Chapel San Bernardino Mesolcina Calanca
Oratorio di Santa Maria Immacolata
The Oratory of Santa Maria Immacolata, built towards the end of the seventeenth century, stands on a natural terrace in the middle of a chestnut wood.
Beschreibung
The oratory, built in 1696 and subsequently restored between 1987 and 1994, is placed under protection of historical monuments. The architect Gabriele Bertossa led a restoration that enhanced the small sacred place with great sensitivity, preserving its importance as a space for worship and meditation. The floor has been covered in stone and the main door and windows have also been restored. the baroque decorations have undergone a thorough refurbishment and the painting of the Immaculate Madonna placed above the altar has also been repaired. The artist Reto Rigassi has created a singular and intelligent spell: two lights (red and blue) move and meet on the mother's breast, illuminating the Immaculate. This spectacle is visible only once a year, on December 8, during the celebration of Our Lady Immaculate, exactly at 10:57. Since 1993, more and more faithful have gathered to witness this 'miracle of light.
