The Great Procession of Tournai


Our Lady of Bon-Secours St-Brice's Church, Tournai plate, 1823.

At the begining of the 18th century, people took the habit to go and pray Our Lady before a little statue attached to a tree trunk in Condé's forest. Many recoveries obtained at this place with the interceding of Our Lady made people call her Bon-Secours (Good Help). As soon as 1642, St Brice's parishioners went there in pilgrimage.
