Santa Maria in Vado
Santa Maria in Vado is a church located on Via Brogovado number 3 in Ferrara, Italy. The church derives its name from a guado or fording (vado in dialect) that was located nearby. A church at the site was documented since the tenth century, but on Easter of 1171, a miracle occurred when blood spouted from the eucharist during consecration. This made the church an object of pilgrimage.
