Sanctuary of Our Lady of Banneux, Virgin of the Poor
1933. A poor girl, a spring, a sentence: I am the Virgin of the Poor. Approved. Quiet. People still come for the sick, as she asked, and for a Belgium that has not forgotten how to kneel.

The pilgrimage
To drink at the spring she pointed to, and to pray for the poor — the ones with empty pockets, and the ones with empty hope.
Banneux is small on purpose. The message is not a secret. It is a work.
The apparition, the Gospel sign, the body, the image — whatever this place is known for, told as a file of its own.
