Our Lady of the Oak
Maisières, France (1803)
On the morning of April 3, 1803, in the Valley of the Loue near Omans, about 20 km from Besancon, 23 year old Cecile Mille, saw a beautiful, tall lady dressed in white, accompanied by four little girls also wearing white clothes, each carrying a lit candle. This beautiful lady continued walking all the way to the ‘Oak of Our Lady”.
On August 15, 1803 Cecile and a few others saw two “lights” that were coming out of the Oak of Our Lady near the lower branches. A closer inspection led to the discovery of a 19 cm clay statue of the Virgin with child.
