433- Our Lady of Victory Basilica, Paris

On a trip to Paris, I went to the Basilica called “Our Lady of Victory.”

This magnificent place of worship is where the Virgin Mary is said have been instrumental in numerous miracles with pilgrims over the years.

From ‘The Little Flower,’ St Teresa of Lisieux to Father Nelson Baker of Buffalo. This is where his devotion to the Virgin Mary began after a pilgrimage to this ‘Titan of History.’

Here are some videos and photos I took while at Notre-Dame des Victoires in Paris. The Basilica has a rich history.

A history that includes Father Charles Degenelles who was inspired by the Madonna back in 1836.

There are over 37,000 ex voto offerings from other pilgrims found covering the walls of this storied place of worship.

  1. As always Steve a beautiful episode. The story of the church is amazing and it is so beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the you tube video at the end and the lovely music. Thank you!

    1. Hi Terry- Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this podcast and the music in the YouTube video. Indeed the deeper history from Europe encourages us to recognize those who had experienced the help and support from the Virgin Mary to intercede with their requests during their time. An inspiration for when the future looks bleak.
