When the miracle occurred, in 708, the whole area, which is now a bay, was a forest. Two rocky peaks broke the massive forest. One was and is still called Tombelaine and the other was known as Mont Tombe. Mont Tombe, or as it is now called Mont St. Michel, was once a Shrine to Belen, the Celtic god of Light. It later became a Shrine to the Roman Mercury. It did not become a Christian place of worship until the 5th century... (posted by Bob 2 years 100 days ago.)

The Infant of Prague during the War years
The Holy Infant in Prague after World War II As the Infant of Prague was having much success reaching the people in Italy, especially in Arenzano, worship was non-existent in the war-torn Czech Kingdom.
