April 11: OUR LADY OF FOURVIERE

This famous French shrine of Our Lady stands upon a Roman site at Fourviere:  but old as the sanctuary is, the building is recent, its predecessors having been much damaged by the Calvinists and again at the French Revolution.

During the Franco-Prussian War, the people pledged themselves to build a new church for the shrine, should their city be spared:  accordingly the present basilica was begun in 1873 and consecrated in 1896.  The older building dedicated in honor of St. Thomas of Canterbury, still stands.  The new church overtopping the town of Fourviere is a great pilgrimage center, especially on Our Lady’s birthday, when the Lyonnais fulfill their 300-year-old promise of an annual pilgrimage in Mary’s honor.
