Our Lady of Beauraing


Our Lady of Beauraing, also known as the Virgin of the Golden Heart, is the title given to the 33 apparitions of the Virgin Mary between November 1932 and January 1933, before five children whose ages were between the 9 and 15 years. For several years after the apparitions, the pilgrims continued to go to the small Belgian village of Beauraing, where many healings were performed.

The children reported that Mary asked that a chapel be built on the site where she appeared and said "I am the Immaculate Virgin." She also asked the pilgrims to go to the site of the apparitions and asked the children and all to pray, as well as in one of her last visions revealed her golden heart.

In the last reported vision, the Virgin asked a child named Fernande: "Do you love my son?" and he answered "yes". Then she asked "Do you love me?" and he answered yes again. Then the Virgin said to him "Then you sacrifice for me" and finished the apparition before the child could answer.

The final approval for this Marian apparition was given in 1949 under the direction of the Holy See by Andre-Marie Chaure, bishop of [Bergos], Belgium.
