The Marian Sanctuaries: five precious jewels which enrich Prato

Five precious jewels enrich Prato, they are the Marian sanctuaries, built between the 15th and 17th centuries in memory of many prodigious events linked to the Virgin Mary. The Marian cult grew around the relic of the Sacred Belt, a strip of green wool embroidered with threads of gold which, according to tradition, would have been donated by the Virgin Mary to St. Thomas, at the time of her assumption in heaven, and preserved in the Cathedral of Santo Stefano since the 12th century.
