History

Saint-Maur-des-Fossés: Rue de Paris and church of St. Nicholas

A chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas was mentioned in two abbey manuscripts in 1137 during the Miracle of Rain: after an intense drought that hit all Western Europe, the monks of Saint-Maur Abbey organised a procession of the relics of St. Maur to the boundary of the fiefdom, near Charenton. When they came back, a violent storm broke out while they were saying the Mass in the chapel of St. Nicholas.[1]

The church was listed as a Class Historic Monument on February 3, 1947.[2]

On January 7, 2018, the Mass celebrated in the Church of St. Nicholas on the day of Epiphany was broadcast live in France 2's Catholic programme Le Jour du Seigneur.[3]

A Marian pilgrimage to Notre-Dame-des-Miracles took place at the church for nearly nine centuries until 1968. The pilgrimage resumed in 1988.[4] According to the 1328 story of Regnault de Citry, a statue of the Virgin Mary was ordered by William de Corbeil and miraculously appeared in the workshop of a sculptor on July 10, 1068.[5] According to the tradition, the statue is acheiropoieta (i.e. made without hands).[6]
