Thank you for reading and for you comment, Father.

I actually didn’t get to go in all the shops in the Sanctuary complex as I had to catch a train, so I’m not sure exactly what’s available there. I know a fellow American blogger who lives in the nearby town of Olivieri, Sharon of Respiri di Vita. Perhaps she might know more.

If you still can’t find anything out, though, let me know, and we can try to contact the diocese if you like; if you read/write in Italian, this is homepage of the Diocese of Patti’s Sanctuary of Tindari.

Best of luck!

Just a little tidbit - my grandfather, who was from Sicily, had the first name of Tindaro. I always wondered where this name came from and now I know. Thanks!! <strong><em>That is *so* interesting!
