Mother of the Holy Face Please Magnify Prayers for Francesca Bini, Paul Badde and Daisy Neves





We have learned just the other day of the diagnosis received by Francesca Bini, the wife of Antonio Bini, of a very serious illness.

  Intense prayers are requested from all the followers and readers of this blog for dear Francesca, as well as for the ongoing health challenges being suffered by Paul Badde and Daisy Neves.  May the Mother of the Holy Face magnify the prayers offered to her Son's Holy Face for Francesca, Paul and Daisy.

First Photo in History of the Holy Face of Manoppello






Through the great generosity and kindness of Paul Badde I am sharing the first photo in history of the Holy Face of Manoppello and an image of the copper plate used to produce it.

Paul wrote:  "I took the photo from the copper plate used for the first printing of a first photo from circa 1900.   I found the copper plate in the museum of the Volto Santo 10 years ago, which has gone lost unfortunately in the meantime, here again attached and converted into a photo by Hildegard Schuhmann from Nuremberg, a longtime, precious  and always helpful friend of mine."




Here are a few recent photos by Paul Badde of the Holy Face and the Shrine of the Holy Face
