The ancient icon of Our Lady of Consolation at the Santuario della Consolata in Turin, believed to be miraculous, has been drawing pilgrims for centuries. It was placed in a chapel in the fifth-century Chiesa di Sant’Andrea, becoming an important shrine of Marian devotion. In the tenth century, a monastery was built adjacent to the shrine in which many different religious orders have lived. This history was written by a Trappist priest, the prior of the monastery in the early eighteenth century.
