Our Lady of the Cape
Quebec, Canada (1879)
Notre-Dame-du-Cap is most famous for two miracles. In 1879 the pastor instructed his congregation to pray the rosary in order to obtain ice to cross the river so that materials and tools could be brought to the site. Pieces of ice floated downstream from Lake St-Pierre, forming a “rosary bridge” across the St. Lawrence River. On June 22, 1888, three men were in the chapel in prayer when they witnessed the eyes of the statue open and close. News of the event quickly spread and the fame of the miraculous image spread. The feast day of Notre-Dame-du-Cap is celebrated on August 15th.
