Sanctuary of San Gabriele dell'Addolorata
The Sanctuary of San Gabriele dell'Addolorata rises close to the small town of Isola del Gran Sasso, the mountain area of the province of Teramo. Visited by thousands of pilgrims during the year, it is located at the foto of the Gran Sasso, which dominates from above and seems to protect the place where one of the strongest examples of Abruzzo spirituality is preserved
The church is dedicated to Saint Gabriel who devoted himself entirely to the church with such devotion and serenity that he is considered the Saint of joy and smiles, protector of the Catholic young
Saint Gabriel died very young on February the 27th, 1962, of tuberculosis, in the little convent of Isola del Gran Sasso (founded in the Saint Francis' time), where he had moved two and a half years before. The Saint's tomb, where each year thousand of pilgrims kneel down and where miracles still happen, is placed, since 1908, close to the right column of the transept. In 1970 work started for the construction of the new Sanctuary. Inspired by the need to give hospitality to thousands of pilgrims, it also has a Conference Room, Rooms for Exhibitions, as the important biennale sacred art, and Groups Rooms while on the lower floor there is the Saint's Crypt where in the summer the urn containing his mortal remains is placed.
