The Miraculous Medal, A Gift from Heaven

The history of the Miraculous Virgin dates back to 1830, when the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré, a young nun of the Daughters of Charity in Paris. During this apparition, the Blessed Virgin asked her to have a medal struck with the inscription "O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you".

Since then, the Miraculous Medal has become a powerful symbol of protection and graces, spreading miracles and blessings throughout the world. It is a reminder of Mary's maternal tenderness and constant intercession with her Son.

The Miraculous Virgin Incense has been designed to honour this Marian presence, creating an atmosphere of peace and trust in Mary's protection. Its sweet, comforting fragrance invites prayer and recollection under the mantle of the Mother of God.

Burning this incense is placing your trust in Mary and entrusting your intentions to her with faith and love.

Her delicate fragrance recalls Mary's benevolent presence, enveloping us with deep peace and trust in her maternal protection.
