Monasteries Devoted To Archangel Saint Michael - Part V - Sanctuary Monte Sant Angelo Sul Gargano - Italy

 

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (ebook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, we continue today with our conversation on the seven monasteries devoted to the Archangel Saint Michael.  What insight can you share with us about the fifth stop, "Sanctuary of Monte Sant' Angelo sul Gargano" in the Foggia province of Italy?

"The most interesting insight about this monastery stop, it resides in a cave where apparitions of Archangel Saint Michael appeared in 490 to the Bishop of Sipontum.   During this first appearance (in Western Europe) of Archangel Saint Michael, he promised protection against the Neopolitan pagans if a sanctuary was built utilizing the cave."

"On the eve of a battle against the invaders, Archangel Saint Michael appeared on the mountain (Mount Gargano) with a flaming sword and protection was given against the Greek pagans. "

"Pope Gelasius (reigned 492 - 496) declared a Basilica to be built enclosing the cave space. Over the centuries, it became a monumental pilgrimage destination and in 2011 became an official UNESCO World Heritage Site."  

PART XXV of our interview with author, Peter Arnold to be continued . . .
