Ave Maria! Every year in the town of Campocavallo, Italy, there's a festival on the first Sunday in August called "The Festival of the Covo."� For the past 70 years, a group of dedicated lay people have constructed a religious sculpture to honor the miraculous image of the Madonna of Campocavallo, and have processed the sculptures through the streets of the town with much festivity.� The sculptures are very unique: they're often larger than the size of a large automobile, and they're constructed out of steel and wood and the grain from the local fields. The sculptures from the past few years have been particularly beautiful.� They're replicas of famous churches from around the world.� Recently, Friar Terrance had the opportunity to visit the Museum of the Covo and film some of these artistic treasures.
