Our Lady of the Fields

The sanctuary of the Madonna dei Campi at Stezzano (2006 photograph)

Our Lady of the Fields (Italian: Madonna dei Campi; French: Notre Dame des Champs; Spanish: La Virgen del Campo; also known as Our Lady of Prayer) is a title of Mary mother of Jesus in Roman Catholic Marian veneration. The name is based on a sanctuary in the countryside of Stezzano, near Bergamo, where Marian apparitions have been recorded since the 13th century.

Veneration of Mary under this name was taken to Canada by Jesuit , who reports a Marian apparition in a village of New France in 1841.

Mary is venerated under this name by the Glenmary Home Missioners, a Catholic society of priests and brothers that serve the rural United States.^[1]
