 The local farmers decided to take the statue and parade it through the neighborhood infirmary, which was the area of the country dedicated to the care of lepers, in the hope that Our Lady would perform a miracle.At that he statue was attributed to healing the leprosy and it became known as "Our Lady of the Audience", because she heard the prayers of the sick.Since the statue was brought to Sambuca in 1575 an annual celebration has been held in honor of Our Lady of the Audience.
