Commemorated on November 3
The statue of Our Lady of Miracles and Virtues, often simply called Our Lady of Miracles, is a depiction of Virgin and Child. Installed in 1876, it replaces the original statue venerated since the fourteenth century and destroyed during the French Revolution.
The original statue was first mentioned in the fourteenth century , as part of a miracle that would have occurred during a siege of the city. It is already a Virgin and Child painted wood. It is painted in 1445, and his hands were restored in 1522. In 1658, the father Fautrel describes it as:
"And to say something in particular [the image of the Virgin of] Saint-Sauveur, it is only a simple wood that was enrichy some gilding, more for its conservation, its beautification . It is true that its shape feels its antiquity, but, after all, save certain air of devotion to it notes, she did nothing extraordinary, and it is a seated figure & medium size, which takes its Christ on her lap, gently supporting the left hand for what is the right hand, which she had previously placed on the breast, that tradition tells us, she sees, now detached showing directly, his first three fingers, instead of mine (who is toward the center, away from ten to twelve steps), there being no appearance that have been carved out of, but in memory of the miracle, it remained so."

History
Four stories of miracles
According to popular tradition there was a famous miracle attributed to Our Lady at Rennes during the War of Succession at Brittany. As Rennes was being besieged by the invading English army under the Duke of Lancaster, the people of the city expected the English forces to mine their way under the walls into the city.
On the night of February 8, 1357, the church bells began to ring of their own accord, and the candles were spontaneously lit. The statue of Our Lady, known as Our Lady of Miracles and Virtues, pointed out a particular slab in the church. The inhabitants of the city thus were alerted to the mine and the point of the English attack, and were able to repulse the invasion. The miracle was a popular subject for ballads, especially the troubadour Cuvelier. In 1634 the miracle was officially recognized by the Bishop of Rennes, Pierre Cornulier
During the war of succession of Brittany , while Rennes was besieged by the British troops, the city expected an attempted invasion by an underground path. According to popular tradition, the night of 8 February 1357 , the church bells began to ring and candles were lit spontaneously. The defenders of the city would then discovered the statue of Our Lady designating a slab on grade. Digging at the site, they discovered a gallery breakthrough by British troops from taking the city and drove the invasion .
Few distinct narratives of this event and its date is known varies. According to some historians, it is the seat of Rennes to in 1356 - one thousand three hundred and fifty-seven and the discovery of the mine is to be attributed to a trick of the governor of the city, William Penhoët, which helped alert defenders and locate the gallery.
The only contemporary account of the facts (before 1387) is the song of Bertrand du Guesclin the troubadour Cuvelier . This song gesture whose objectivity is discussed does not describe the scheme of William Penhoët and evokes no miracle.
The following story is found in the 1532 edition of The Chronicles of Britain 's Alain Bouchart . It is the miracle in 1343 and cites the ringing of bells and the lighting of the candles, but not the movement of the statue.
In 1634, the miracle is officially recognized by the Bishop of Rennes, Mgr Pierre Cornulier . The minutes of this recognition is lost, but it is picked up by a report of 19 July 1658 of Bishop Henri de La Mothe-Houdancourt his successor . The indicated year is 1345, three facts are cited.
In 1637, Father Albert the Great recounts the lives of the saints of Brittany Brittany a slightly different story , in which the sexton discovered the statue and prevents defenders in 1356 this time.
Finally, a story in verse, anonymous and undated, is taken by the father Fautrel in his History of Our Lady of Miracles in 1658 . This poem advance the date of February 1345 and cites three facts.
Later editions of the lives of Saints Brittany Brittany resume the story of the father Fautrel.

The young Louis-Marie was an intelligent boy who was taken under the guidance of the Jesuit priests, and it was at Rennes that he began to consider a possible vocation to the priesthood. It was here at the shrine of Our Lady at Rennes that Saint Louis de Montfort made the final decision to become a priest.

The statue was destroyed in the Revolution. The statue of Our Lady of Miracles and Virtues currently displayed at the basilica was placed there in February of 1876 on the initiative and funds of Father Lelièvre. The new statue, by Rennes sculptor Charles-Pierre Goupil, is made of wood and stone in the Romanesque Revival style.
Canon Louis Company made the following description of the statue:
"The Virgin is seated in majesty.Her shoulders are covered with a coat azure color and his head with a white veil, surmounted by a crown with elegant jewels, decorated with precious stones. The blue dress is half hidden by a peplum , red light, finished with a rich embroidery. The feet of the Virgin are shod with red slippers enhanced in the middle of a golden braid. The left hand supports the Virgin and Child Jesus. The right hand is lowered. The index is heading towards the earth, following the traditional left.
The Child God rests on the lap of his mother. His head is surrounded by circular and cruciform nimbus. Her feet are bare. These two attributes remind his divinity, according to the rules of iconography. The right hand, he blessed the Latin way. From the left, it supports an open book on his knees and with a text of the Magnificat: Fecit mihi magna which is potens and nomen sanctum jus. "
