Flight of the Holy House

The Flight of the Holy House refers to the journey of the Virgin Mary's house, believed to be in Nazareth, which was miraculously transported by angels to Loreto, Italy, in the 13th century. According to tradition, this event was meant to protect the relic from invading forces. The Holy House is now enshrined in the Basilica of the Holy House in Loreto, which is a major pilgrimage site. This story reflects the themes of divine intervention and the veneration of sacred spaces in Christianity, illustrating the blend of faith, history, and cultural significance in religious traditions.
