| Summary: | The apparition which took place on January 17, 1871 in the small village of Pontmain (near Laval, in the countries of the Loire) had as protagonists four guys aged between nine and twelve years. We are in an historical period of exceptional importance, because the Mariophany took place right near the epilogue of the Franco-Prussian conflict, at the moment of greatest difficulty for the French army, just a few days before the armistice. These made (together with the fact that all the conscripts of the village returned home safe) a precise awareness of the existence of a causal link between the apparition and the end of the war, that spread among the faithful first locally, then increasingly on a national scale. This study aims to understand how the devotion to the Madonna di Pontmain acquired over the years a strongly nationalistic connotation: which were the agents responsible for this characteristic and with which modalities this devotional development took place, as well as how these contents were received by the community of believers. |
