Summary/Abstract: The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary attained broader recognition relatively late, largely as a result of the Blessed Virgin Mary apparitions of 1830 experienced bySister Catherine Laboure, a novice of the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. On 27 November 1830, the Mother of God revealed to her the design of a medal and instructed that it be minted, which subsequently took place in 1832. Numerous documented testimonies of healings and conversions contributed to the rapid dissemination of the medal, which came to be known as the Miraculous Medal.
