Notre-Dame de
Feniers, Condat, Cantal, Auvergne, France
The statue of Our Lady of Feniers, a typical 1400s late Gothic standing
Virgin and Child of painted stone, was hidden during the
Revolution which devastated her former residence, the Abbey of Val
Honnête. After the
Concordat restored the churches in 1802, devotees twice took the statue to
the parish church in Condat, but each time it was found the next day in
the Abbey crypt—and mysterious footprints in rocks along the way. So a
chapel to house the statue was built against the empty walls of
the ruined Abbey. Our Lady of Feniers is invoked against serious illness,
and an annual mass is celebrated at the chapel for the feast of St. Peter (June 29).
