La casa della Vergine Maria era formata da tre pareti addossate ad una grotta, scavata nella roccia, tuttora compresa e venerata nella Basilica dell'Annunciazione di Nazareth.
La tradizione popolare vuole che, nella notte tra il 9 e il 10 dicembre del 1294, le pietre che componevano i muri della costruzione venissero trasportate in volo dagli angeli. In realtà, dall'analisi dei documenti, si ha conferma che il trasferimento avvenne per mare, su navi crociate .
Secondo P. Giuseppe Santarelli, dopo la cacciata dei cristiani dalla Terra Santa da parte dei mussulmani, un esponente della famiglia Angeli Comneno , reigning in Epirus, one bothered to save the Holy House, which was first transported to Trsat (present Croatia) in 1291, then to Ancona in 1293 and finally to Loreto December 10, 1294.
But who were the crusaders authors of this legendary company?
The first case involved a temple was made in the report by Dr. Loren Imperio " considerations and assumptions on the likely travel by sea, the remains of casa di Nazareth ”, presentata al III Convegno di Ricerche Templari della L.A.R.T.I. (Casale Monferrato, 26-27 ottobre 1985).
Sulla stessa linea, l'illustre storico ed esperto Gabriele Petromilli, autore di pregevoli testi sull'Ordine del Tempio, tra cui “ I Templari e la Santa Casa di Loreto ” (Edizioni Aratron, 1987), il quale ha sempre sostenuto la possibilità that perform the incredible recovery and its own transport were the Templars.
Among the chroniclers of the Crusades, William of Tyre was to say that the Templars had custody of the earthly place of the incarnation of Christ, as Jacques de Vitry and the same Joinville, secretary and biographer of King Louis IX of France, who confirmed, in their writings, the Templar presence in Nazareth.
Even a traveler monaco Dominican Ricoldo from Monte Croce, Mary reported that the house had been constantly watched over by a Templar knight and three sergeants.
As for the family Angels Comnenus , it is interesting to note that it was related to that of La Roche , French family who owned Amaury, master of France from 1265 to 1274.
Not to mention that the only organization that era had the facilities and capabilities to accomplish such a feat was the Militia of the Temple, whose powerful Based Chateau Pelerin (Atlit) is a short distance from Nazareth.
Another aspect worthy of note is that, walled in between the stones of the Holy House, were found five crosses of red cloth of a cross or, more likely, of horsemen a military order in the Middle Ages was defending the holy sites and relics .
Not surprisingly, a fresco inside the Sanctuary of Loreto, in chapel called "the French" (or "Holy Sacrament.") recalls how the Templars fought bravely for the defense of Nazareth.
