Roccafiorita. Nazi and fascist symbols have sprung up at the Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Kalfa Aid on top of the Valle d'Agro '. Smeared some rocks on the road that leads to the shrine and the area behind the church, where there is a reservoir serving the Casa del Pellegrino, the reception center to serve the church structure. "The painting has already been deleted and is not able to scratch any way the hard rock of faith on which it is built this Marian Shrine." This is the first comment of Don Giuseppe D'Agostino, pastor of Roccafiorita. Even people and some of the pioneers of the Shrine appeared annoyed by swastikas, but unanimous in bringing the action to ignorance of some kid. An old man ("no matter my name, I speak on behalf of all veterans fighters Roccafiorita) smile upon us, without hiding his bitterness, however," not because of the offense, because I do not think Madonna was offended, but more than anything else you will be saddened to think that these kids have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe horrors that are certain symbols that draw them carelessly and defiantly, if they had, would cut their own hand with shame and remorse. We hope, however, that should never know, that should never go past what we have and those less fortunate than us and that no scheme violent in the name of those or other symbols, the orders never to kill other men. " A Sanctuary, irony of symbols, which finds its roots in war and their own ... in the Second World War. A soldier of Roccafiorita, Carmelo Occhino, invoked the help of Our Lady in the midst of a bombing in which he saw all his comrades fall, miraculously survived, including torn bodies and rubble. It was from that episode that Occhino and other veterans in the height of the war, decided to build a statue dedicated to Our Lady and then the Sanctuary. In the 80s it was realized the Pilgrim House and the Sanctuary became a popular 'oasis' Marian. Fortunately, it did not go to port, the proposal (as well harmful and offensive swastikas ...) to eliminate the church made with the free labor of veterans Roccafiorita and replace it with a more modern one.
"From the evil was born well, from the rock, this flower - comments the priest - because, as Jesus said to Peter, it is essential to put in the sheath drawn swords over the world. Violence does not serve. " Philip
