The cult of Maria Santissima della Confusione began in the province of Trapani, and eventually spread in the near province of Palermo. Origin of the name Maria Santissima della Confusione, that is venerated by the Friars Minor Capuchin of Salemi, is an oil painting realized in the 18th century by fra Felice da Sambuca; it is represented a Madonna in tears, with the symbols of the Passion of Jesus (the spear, the sponge with vinegar, the nails and the column of Jesus’ flagellation) around her. The title Madonna della Confusione, refers to Mary, and expresses the state of consternation, of confusion and affliction faced with the painful death of her son.

In Christianity Saints often become the patrons of places where they were born or had been active.
