@gapsss__._: The people of Lyon have a deep and special relationship with the Virgin Mary, rooted in centuries of devotion. This bond is particularly evident in the city's history and traditions, most notably the Festival of Lights, where thousands and thousands of people gather to pay hommage to Holy Mary every year. According to legend, in 1643, during a deadly plague, the city’s leaders prayed to the Virgin Mary for protection, vowing to honor her if Lyon was spared. When the plague subsided, the tradition of offering gratitude to Mary began, The Basilica of **Notre-Dame de Fourvière**, built in her honor, stands as a symbol of this enduring devotion, and many Lyonnais continue to seek her intercession in times of need. #lyonnais #lyon #europe #france #france🇫🇷 #holymary #virginmary #catholic #jesuslovesyou #jesusisking #jesus #Christianity #christian #fyp #foruyou #foryoupagе #tradition
