Description: Notre Dame du Cap Medal (Our Lady of the Cape) Sacred Heart Silvertone 5/8" long Our Lady of the Cape (Notre-Dame-du-Cap in French) is a title given to Mary the Mother of God in Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec Canada. The title pertains more specifically to a statue of the Blessed Mother which is currently located in the Old Shrine. During a revival of Marian devotion the number of people attending the parish church began to increase until the church was no longer large enough to hold the parishioners. It was decided that a larger church was needed and that it would be built with stones from the opposite side of the St. Lawrence River which is approximately 1 1/4 miles across at Cap-de-la-Madeleine. The decision was made to bring the stones across the river on sleds once it had frozen in the winter. Unfortunately that winter was unusually mild and the St. Lawrence did not freeze over as planned. This seemed to hinder plans for construction of the new church. The congregation prayed the rosary in order to obtain ice to cross the river. In March pieces of ice floated downstream from Lake St-Pierre, forming a "bridge" across the St. Lawrence River, and this miracle was attributed to the intercession of the Blessed Mother. This bridge was called the Rosary Bridge due to its connection with the prayer of the same name. For several days the parishioners poured water on the ice pieces in order to thicken the ice and form a path, which they then used to transport the stones across the river. There are many pilgrims to the shrine who travel 100 km on foot in three days from St.-Joseph-de-Lanoraie every Labour Day weekend. #272
