Tips
The chapel of Chêne is a Catholic sanctuary and a place of Marian pilgrimage, located in the town of Saint-Martin-de-Connée, in Mayenne, whose first chapel built in the 17th century gave way to the current chapel, which is larger, which was built at the end of the 19th century.
The Virgin Mary is venerated there under her title of Our Lady of Sorrows, because of the miraculous statuette placed in the oak, now withered, which represents Mary holding the body of Jesus taken down from the Cross.
