Our Lady of Good News

Rennes, France (1720)

Jean de Montfort founded the Dominican convent of Our Lady of Good News in Rennes to make good a vow taken during the battle of Auray in 1364, where his victory settled him as Duke of Brittany. In the following century, a panel painting in the convent’s cloister gained a reputation for miracles, so a separate chapel was built for it. Another vow was paid after the plague of 1632, which missed Rennes. In thanks, the city gave Our Lady of Good News a solid silver model of the town and, from 1634, celebrated her feast every year on
September 8. Another miracle occurred during the great fire of December 23, 1720, when, as their wooden houses burned, the people of Rennes saw Our Lady of Good News look down in compassion from the sky.
