Unable to reach him because of a <strong>mysterious force <\/strong>that kept him out of the cave, the man threw an arrow at the bull: the arrow turned back, hitting him.

The man ran to tell the event to Bishop <strong>Lorenzo Maiorano<\/strong>, who called three days of prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel. At the end of the third day, Saint Michael appeared in a dream to the bishop, confirming the miracle and asking him to consecrate the cave to him. However Maiorano, perhaps for the inaccessibility of the place, perhaps because it had been the seat of pagan cults, hesitated before following the words of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/angels?page=1&amp;_gl=1*s4atsi*_ga*MjAyODIwNTUzOS4xNjgwNTA1OTc3*_ga_W18MV136NH*MTY5Mjg4MDI2NC4yMi4xLjE2OTI4ODI3NDguMC4wLjA.\">Archangel<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>The apparition of the Victory<\/h2>\n<p>The second apparition is of the &#8220;Victory&#8221;. The evening before a <strong>battle of the Lombards against the Byzantines<\/strong>, occurred a few years after the first episode according to tradition, but perhaps a few centuries later, San Michele appeared again to Bishop San Lorenzo Maiorano, announcing that the following day the victory would be assured to him by the will of the saint. The battle the following day was accompanied by earthquakes, lightning and lightning and ended with victory.

San Lorenzo Maiorano, supported by other bishops and the pope, was convinced to complete the task of consecrating the <strong>cave of San Michele<\/strong>. However, he remained uncertain how to do so. The archangel then appeared to him again to tell him that the place did not need human consecration, as it had already been consecrated by the very presence of Saint Michael. Maiorano and some other bishops went to the place: it was summer and it was very hot, but by miracle, some eagles protected the bishops from the sun with the shadow of their wings. On the spot they saw a <strong>rough stone altar<\/strong> with a cloth and a cross: Saint Michael had indeed miraculously consecrated the place, ready for the celebration of the sacrifice. In the stone, they also found a tangible sign of the presence of the archangel: the footprint of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/saints-and-blessed\/archangels-who-are-they-and-what-is-their-function\/\"><strong>foot of Saint Michael<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-article\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3804 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/08\/The-cult-of-Archangel-St.-Michael.jpg\" alt=\"The cult of Archangel St. Michael\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"The apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=3798\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"leggi-anche\">Read more:<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/blog\/saints-and-blessed\/cult-archangel-st-michael\/\">The cult of Archangel St. Michael<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nSt. Michael the Archangel is one of the three archangels recognized by Christianity, and not just that&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The apparition of the mole Adriana<\/h2>\n<p>A fourth apparition took place to Pope <strong>Saint Gregory the Great<\/strong>.

Archbishop <strong>Alfonso Puccinelli<\/strong>, finding no human strength to oppose the plague, invoked the intervention of Saint Michael with prayers and fasts.
