Our Lady of the Hens^[1]^[2] or Madonna of the Hens^[3]^[4]^[5] (Italian: Madonna delle Galline) is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honour of the Marian apparitions and miracles that are claimed to have occurred between 1609 and 1610 in Pagani, Campania. A large cult devotion has since developed, and a large church was built at the site that has since become a major site of Marian pilgrimage.
