A ceramic plaque placed above the door reminds us of this fact. The insignia reads: “Here you will mourn the Mare de Déu de Loreto l’1 de Març de 1545.” The chronicles say that at that time Camp d’Alacant was suffering from a terrible drought. The desperation was so deep that a prayer was organized to move the altarpiece of the virgin from the church of Mutxamel to the monastery of Santa Faz. Returning from the procession on the way to Sant Joan, the bearer of the panel, Mr. Mosén Llorenç Boix, stopped exhausted from the effort of carrying the heavy figure. It was then that everyone present saw how tears flowed from the virgin’s eyes. Shortly after that episode it began to rain, so the neighbors attributed the event to the intermediation of their virgin. To commemorate the miracle, a simple cross was placed in that place. We know many details about this story thanks to the manuscript of D. Mosén Juan Artés from the 16th century, and the Book of the Brotherhood of the Virgin.
