 Identify and explain the importance of the pilgrimage site to Christians

Rue De Bac is a Marian Pilgrimage in Paris, France. Before the journey to the pilgrimage site takes place, I have researched and read on a body of Catherine Laboure. Catherine Labour died on 31st December 1876. When her body was exhumed after fifty-seven years of burial, it was found to be completely incorrupt and supple. Before the death of Catherine Laboure, the apparition occurred on 18th July 1830. Proof shows that Mary appeared twice to Catherine in the chapel. The sign of when the apparition took place made Christians have a stronger faith. Our Blessed Virgin Mary waited for Catherine in the Cathedral.  Mary said “God wishes to charge you with a mission.” When Mary disappeared, the media knew about what happened that late night. People all around Europe came to see this miracle. Just like how I am planning on travelling to the site. People’s faiths were being reinforced since the apparition took place. Therefore this pilgrimage site is important to Christians because Rue De Bac is an approved appearance and Christians would go to Catherine Laboure’s body for healings to take place.
