History
Cecile Mill (Oct 16, 1789 - July 13, 1835)
A devout young boy, Cecile Mille made his first communion in the year 1803. One day, leaving the church immediately he went home. Passing near an oak tree the boy saw, to his surprise, the Mother of God stopping between two lights. After a few minutes the statue disappeared. When the child narrated this incident to their parents, they wanted to go to the site to ascertain the truth of the apparition. Once at the Oak at first they did not see anything, but on closer examination they found in a hollow oak was a statue of the Mother of God that was lost long ago. The news spread rapidly and people began to venerate the statue there. Then a church was built dedicated to Mary and Our Lady of the Oak became a popular place of pilgrimage, which is still very popular. On the morning of April 3, 1803, in the Valley of the Loue near Ornans, about 20 km from Besançon, Cecile Mille saw "a beautiful, tall lady dressed in white, accompanied by four little girls also wearing white clothes, each carrying a lit candle. This beautiful lady continued walking all the way to the 'Oak of Our Lady'"
