Basilica Encounter Erected Girard Hubert Melanie Virgin Visions Maximin Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and spiritual significance of the Basilica of La Salette, located in the French Alps. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the basilica stands at the site of a renowned Marian apparition that occurred on September 19, 1890. The apparition was witnessed by two shepherd children, Melanie Calvat and Maximin Girard, who reported experiencing a supernatural encounter with the Virgin Mary. The image of the Virgin Mary, as depicted in the basilica, is based on the descriptions given by Melanie and Maximin. She was described as having a serious expression, with her arms outstretched, and holding a rosary in one hand and a crucifix in the other. The children reported hearing the Virgin Mary speak to them, delivering a message of repentance and warning of the consequences of sin. The encounter at La Salette had a profound impact on the local community and beyond, leading to the construction of the basilica in 1892. The site has since become a popular pilgrimage destination for people of all faiths, seeking spiritual guidance and reflection. The basilica's stunning architecture, with its intricate details and beautiful stained glass windows, serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the belief in the supernatural. This photograph offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the Basilica of La Salette, inviting us to reflect on the profound impact of the children's encounter with the Virgin Mary and the enduring significance of this spiritual site.
