Notre Dame De Boulogne Sur Mer - 19th Century

Popular art work from the North from the end of the 19th century. This relief under glass in soft wood represents ND de Boulogne sur Mer. “The old chroniclers tell that one day in the year 633, a mysterious boat, without oars, without sails and without sailors entered the mouth of the river, today occupied by the port of Boulogne.
At the same time, the Virgin appeared to the members of a small Christian community who had gathered for prayer in a modest chapel in the upper town. She warned them that a ship containing her image was entering their harbor, and that she wanted to see this image placed in the very place where they had gathered, so that the marvelous effects of her protection would reflect on them in perpetuity.
