The church, built in the late 12th century, preserves a prestigious Nativity, painted in the 17th century, to which the church owes its current name.
The church was originally named after St. Savior. In 1875 it was the scene of a miraculous event, which is why to this day, every 1st March this event is commemorated with great festivities.
Tradition has it that on that date, at five o'clock in the afternoon, some of the faithful saw the image of the Virgin Mary open her eyes: immediately the church filled with people and the miracle was repeated.
