context_page_description: Maria Santissima dell'Udienza or Madona dell'Udienza or Our Lady of the Audience is a marble sculpture created by the Renaissance sculptor Antonello Gagini, in the early 1500s. The statue is currently housed in the apse of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Audience in Sambuca di Sicilia, Italy.
  On the evening of the third Sunday of May, the statue is carried in procession through the main streets of the historical center of Sambuca di Sicilia, supported on the shoulders of members of the Confraternita Maria SS. della'Udienza.
context_section_description: Sicilians brought the celebration to a number of churches in the United States, including Holy Rosary Catholic Church of Kansas City, Missouri, where the Feast has been celebrated since the church was founded in 1890. A local family brought a replica of the statue of Our Lady of the Audience when they immigrated and it is celebrated with an annual processional with an honor guard from the Knights of Columbus.
