Our Lady of Loreto refers to the Holy House of Loreto — the house where Mary was born, and where the Annunciation took place.

According to Tradition, angels carried the little house from the Holy Land, and transported it to Loreto, Italy. The Holy House arrived in Loreto during the night between December 9-10, 1294.
