Our lady of miraculous medal, Paris, France

On July 18th 1830, the Holy Virgin appeared to Catherine Labouré in the chapel of Rue du Bac in Paris. This chapel is also named chapel of our lady of miraculous medal.

The chapel was part of the convent of the Filles de la Charité. Catherine Labouré was at that time preparing herself to become a sister.

On November 28th, the Holy Virgin entrusted Catherine with the miraculous medal. At the time of Catherine's death, two billion miraculous medals had already been made.
