During World War II, the parish of Cospicua on the heavily bombed island of Malta decided to send their statue of the Virgin and the painting of the Virgin from above their high altar away for safe-keeping, "vowing that if their church were spared, they would bring both back with suitable solemnity."
Their church was indeed spared. Fr. Alexander Lucie-Smith tells the rest of the story here.
