Sanctuaire Notre Dame des Miracles Explore! ⭐ April 12, 2020) Sanctuary Our Lady of Miracles. La Madonne d'Utelle. 1180m

            Vers l'an 850, des Espagnols naviguant le long des cotes de Provence furent pris dans une tempête terrible, près de l'embouchure du Var.
Près de périr, ils firent vœu de bâtir une chapelle dédiée à la Vierge si la tempête leur laissait la vie sauve.
Alors qu'ils priaient, la Vierge leur apparut et leur montra une montagne, éclatante de lumière et dominant toute la région.
Les navigateurs, fidèles à leur promesse,érigèrent un « Pilon » commémoratif du prodige.
Le « pilon » fut agrandi, transformé et devint une chapelle qui accueille de grands pèlerinages.
Le sanctuaire fut dévasté pendant la révolution. On construisit un cloître autour de la chapelle, inauguré en 1871, que l'on voit toujours aujourd'hui.
La statue de Notre-Dame fut couronnée au nom du Pape Pie XI. C'est une belle œuvre et les étoiles utilisée ne sont autres que des animaux marins qui étaient présents la il y a 140 millions d'années. 

Around the year 850, Spaniards sailing along the coasts of Provence were caught in a terrible storm, near the mouth of the Var.
Close to perishing, they made a vow to build a chapel dedicated to the Virgin if the storm left their lives saved.
As they prayed, the Virgin appeared to them and showed them a mountain, bursting with light and dominating the whole region.
The navigators, faithful to their promise, erected a "Pestle" commemorating the prodigy.
The "pestle" was enlarged, transformed and became a chapel which accommodates great pilgrimages.
The sanctuary was devastated during the revolution. A cloister was built around the chapel, inaugurated in 1871, which we still see today.
The statue of Our Lady was crowned in the name of Pope Pius XI. It is a beautiful work and the stars used are none other than marine animals which were present there 140 million years ago.
