In 1814, not far from the church of Redon-Espic, a young shepherdess, Marie-Jeanne Grave, was tending her sheep. She was 14 years old when a lady appeared to him, all dressed in white, wearing shoes held up by blue ribbons and carrying a luminous cross around her neck. The virgin, who will appear to her a second time, asks her to return to the Christian life of her parents, sharecroppers of Mr. Chabannes, mayor of Bezenac, otherwise her father and mother will soon die. Dismissed by her parents and all those around her, she died on 24 November 1814. It was to the place of the apparitions that some of the faithful regularly went. The pilgrimage became an annual event in 1815, on September 8.
