Since the 13th century, the city of Lille (Fr) honors the Virgin Mary as its patron under the title Our Lady of Vine Arbour. This name comes from the wire mesh enclosing the statue, image of an enclosure where shelter and peace can be found. The pilgrimage of many Tournaisians to Lille was at the origin of a new brotherhood established in St Nicaise church, in the 17th century. During the demolition of the church, the staue was transfered to St Margaret and then to St Quentin (where it is still now).
