Our Lady of Beauraing
Five children aged 9 to 15 in Beauraing, Belgium, reported 33 visions of the Virgin with a golden heart between November 1932 and January 1933.
1932 CE · 50.11, 4.96 · status: account
The account
The children were from two local families, the Voisins and the Degeimbres. Crowds and claims of cures followed, and final Church approval came on 2 July 1949.
The sceptical view
As with many child visionary cases, the evidence is the children's testimony and the crowd's enthusiasm.
