Visited by thousands of pilgrims every year, the town of Beauraing owes its fame to the events of the winter of 1932-1933: the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to 5 children in the garden of the Notre-Dame du Sacré Cœur boarding school Sisters of Christian Doctrine in Nancy.
Between November 29, 1932 and January 3, 1933, Maria appeared more than thirty times to Fernande (15 years), Gilberte (13 years) and Albert (11 years) of the Voisin family and to Andrée (14 years) and Gilberte (9 years) of the Degeimbre family.
On December 29, 1932, the Virgin Mary revealed her enlightened heart to the children, as a heart of gold glittering with rays. This vision would come to characterize Mary as Our Lady of the Heart of Gold, Virgin of the Heart of Gold, or Our Lady of Beauraing.
