medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thank you so much Laura. I live in Scotland (and actually lived in Norway as a little girl - but this is my first return) so know to prepare for cool, wet weather and biting insects! Tusen takk!

Saint Roland, a rich English lord, founded, at the end of the 12th century, a chapel to Notre-Dame des Sept-Douleurs, near the monastery of Chézéry, of which he was abbot. This pilgrimage, formerly very famous, was momentarily eclipsed by the Revolution. It was restored by the zeal and offerings of Soeur Rosalie (born at Confort, d. Paris, 1856). Under the gaze of N.D. des Douleurs, she had learned to commiserate with the afflictions of the unfortunate and to comfort them. The chapel, enlarged by her care, has become a parish church. Pope Leo XII accorded this pilgrimage many indulgences, and pilgrims crowd here on all feasts of the Virgin. See Jean-Emmanuel B. Drochon, Histoire illustrée des pèlerinages français de la très sainte Vierge (Paris, Librairie Plon, 1890). p. 1031. >> This seems to indicate that devotion to Notre-Dame de Confort is quite recent, but this is only one shrine with that name. There could be others, but I have not found them yet. If you know of any, I would be interested. >> Cheers, >> Jim >> >> ________________________________ >> From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Jean Luc Deuffic [[log in to unmask]] >> Sent: May 17, 2015 4:58 AM >> To: [log in to unmask] >> Subject: [M-R] Notre-Dame de Confort >> >> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture >> Bonjour, >> >> Je recherche les origines du culte de “Notre-Dame de Confort” en France...
