History

On 17 December 1826, the village of Migné witnesses the appearance of a luminous cross in the sky, in front of more than 2000 people gathered on the occasion of the planting of a cross in the village cemetery. Standing about fifty meters above the ground, lying in the direction of the West, about forty yards in length, it was visible from 17:00 to 17:30. Its presence was predicted seven years before its appearance by the abbot Suffrant, parish priest of Maumusson and an ecclesiastic M. Vrindts.
