Our Lady Of The Hens
Our Lady of the Hens or Madonna of the Hens () is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honour of the Marian apparitions and miracles that are claimed to have occurred between 1609 and 1610 in Pagani, Campania. A large cult devotion has since developed, and a large church was built at the site that has since become a major site of Marian pilgrimage. History Popular tradition has it that a wooden panel depicting the Virgin of Carmel was kept in a church perched in the mountains of Tramonti (); one night, the Madonna appeared to the sacristan in a dream, asking him to tell the priest to repair the crumbling church, otherwise she would have gone away, to a town where "even the hens" would have loved her. The sacristan reported everything to the priest, but the latter took it lightly; the consequences were serious: there was, in fact, a strong storm, and the mud carried the painting with it downstream, to the territory of the municipality of Pagani.

In ancient times, many duties of the sacrist were performed by the doorkeepers ( ostiarii), and later by the treasurers and mansionarii.

Birds In Religion

In terms of economic uses, birds have been hunted for food since Palaeolithic times. They have been captured and bred as poultry to provide meat and eggs since at least the time of ancient Egypt. Some species have been used, too, to help locate or to catch food, as with cormorant fishing and the use of greater honeyguide, honeyguides. Feathers have long been used for bedding, as well as for quill pens and for Fletching, fletching arrows.
