EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 15th century image, a devout French lady, her face etched with piety and determination, embarks on a pilgrimage to the hallowed Mont Saint-Michel. Dressed in the simple garb of the time, her swelling belly testifies to the life growing within her. As she approaches the famed tidal island, the vast expanse of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel stretches before her, its waters shimmering in the sunlight. Suddenly, the tide, which had been receding, begins to turn, and the lady finds herself confronted by the relentless advance of the water. Fear flickers in her eyes, but her faith remains unwavering. With hands outstretched towards the heavens, she calls upon the Virgin Mary for protection. The scene unfolds as a testament to the power of faith and the miraculous intervention of the divine. In the next instant, the waters part before her, revealing a narrow path to safety. The lady, her heart filled with gratitude, makes her way across the miraculously revealed causeway, reaching the safety of Mont Saint-Michel's hallowed grounds. This image, a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the people of the time and their faith, transports us back to the 15th century and the extraordinary belief in the paranormal and miraculous. The Mont Saint-Michel, a symbol of hope and sanctuary, continues to draw pilgrims to this day, their hearts filled with the same faith and wonder as the lady in this image.
