1876 Wood Engraving Miracle Heal Demoiselle Coirin Cancer Paralysis Deacon XGGA9

This is an original 1876 black and white wood engraving of the miraculous recovery made by Demoiselle Coirin one August evening in 18th century France after being tended to by a Jansenist. Stricken with both cancer and paralysis, one night she underwent a miraculous healing and rose from bed feeling much, much better. The servant by her bed was so surprised that she did the only thing she could think of--bring her mistress some delicious hot soup.

The Jansens were a Puritanical sect of Dutch Roman-Catholicism whom in the beginning no one seemed to think too much about. The Catholics seemed to dismiss the movement as a form of Protestantism masquerading as Catholicism, and the Protestants had enough on their plates to bother too much about yet another group of Catholics. Although underrepresented, they were renowned through word of mouth for their incredible ability to perform the most incredible miracles, most of which occurred at the tomb of Francis of Paris, one of their devout leaders.
