Our Lady Of Vivonne
Country : France
Year :
In Savoy, France, the miraculous image of Our Lady of Vivonne is venerated. It was found by a ploughman while preparing his field for the spring planting.
The good man took the statue to the church, after having cleaned it, and gave it to the pastor of the parish, who placed it in the church later in the day. The next morning the statue was gone, and the farmer found it again in his field. This happened three times, when it was decided to build a shrine in the field. The strange phenomenon brought people from near and far to the shrine. Soon the image proved to be miraculous and pilgrimages were formed.
