Nine thousand people had already perished, including three heroic Franciscan consacratisi voluntarily to comfort those affected: Father Bonaventura Bellagamba from Nicosia, the Venerable One Bedroom Nicosia Michelangelo and Fra Brunello di San Fratello of the Reformed Order of St. Maria Jesus squalor and terror prevailed among the survivors, but when there was any human remedy there was the hand of God Almighty to make a public, a remarkable miracle. A simple virgin of the monastery of the Immaculate Conception in Santa Cristina knew in a vision, to avert the scourge that had to lead a procession through the streets of the city the statue of the crucified Jesus, the Father of Mercy.
