The Marian apparitions of the Rue du Bac are the three apparitions of the Virgin Mary declared by a nun, Sister Catherine Labouré, from July to December 1830. During these apparitions, the nun said she received the request to have a medal struck and distributed in honor of the Mother of Jesus. This medal, struck for the first time in 1832, was very successful, and it was distributed to several million copies in the world, in a few years: it is the miraculous medal. The nun remained hidden and anonymous, her identity and the apparitions she said she witnessed remained secret almost until the end of her life. Although the Marian apparitions have not been officially recognized by the Catholic Church, because no canonical trial has been opened on the subject, this event has been implicitly recognized by the authorities of the Church, through the canonical trial on the miraculous medal, the attribution of a religious feast for the miraculous medal, and the beatification and canonization of the visionary. #VirginMary #France #miracle https://activite-paranormale.net/event/read/242/second-of-the-marian-apparitions-of-the-rue-du-bac
