The most precious pieces of the House of Loreto Chapel are the "reredos" and the
Ebony Madonna which are preserved on the wall within the Earth Center. The
wooden structure came directly from the original House of Loreto in Italy when it was
replaced with a marble one.
The Ebony Madonna that was in the chapel also now resides within the reredos. The Church of St. Athanasius borrowed the statue and returned it with an exquisite bro- cade garb. This statue was placed in the original House of Loreto in Italy for a time prior to its transfer in 1897.
