Albert, in northern France, is a small town with a big reputation, thanks to its remarkable gilded sculpture \u2018The Golden Virgin.\u2019 This important statue is a golden masterpiece, portraying the Virgin Mary presenting the Christ Child towards the heavens. More than just a work of art; it is a symbol of hope and resilience, with a history deeply intertwined with the trials of World War I.<\/p>\n

The starting point for any tour of the Somme Battlefields<\/a>, Albert saw some of the hottest action on the Western front through the Great War. The town\u2019s impressive Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebi\u00e8res made for an excellent observation post for whomever occupied it. It is on top of the basilica\u2019s striking tower that the iconic \u2018Golden Virgin\u2019 statue stands.<\/p>\n

The Golden Virgin is also known affectionately as \u2018The Leaning Virgin.\u2019 She was designed by the sculptor Albert Roze and placed atop the Basilique Notre-Dame de Brebi\u00e8res on the building\u2019s completion in 1897. Covered with 40,000 sheets of gold leaf and standing at a height of 5 meters (16 feet), this important statue is an impressive sight.<\/p>\n

The basilica and statue became an increasingly popular pilgrimage site, even capturing the attention of Pope Leo XIII. He visited the site in 1898 and christened the Basilica as the \u2018Lourdes of the North.\u2019<\/p>\n

The legend of the Leaning Virgin<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
In 1914, as World War I engulfed the world, the Basilica and The Golden Virgin found themselves in the midst of a conflict that would leave a lasting mark on history. During the early days of the war, German forces suspected the basilica’s bell tower housed a French observation post. They had shelled the dome, slightly dislodging the statue.<\/p>\n

However, on January 15, 1915, when the Battle of the Somme was raging, the sculpture was struck by artillery fire. It was in fact left leaning precariously just below the horizontal. Such a sight was too heavenly connected for passing soldiers to ignore, and the Legend of the Leaning Virgin and this important statue was born.<\/p>\n

A symbol of hope<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
As the war raged on, The Golden Virgin became a symbol, not only to the French but also to British and German troops. The British believed whoever knocked her down would win the war, the Germans thought the opposite. Another version of the legend believed that her fall would signal the end of the war. All soldiers seemed to believe that a divine hand had interrupted the descent of the Virgin Mary and baby Christ, so its final destruction could mark the end of the war and the suffering.

Toppled by the British in 1918<\/h3>\n

\"post<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Shored up by French engineers, the statue remained hanging until March 1918. German troops occupied the town of Albert and held the tactical position in the Cathedral tower. Though there are many differing reports of why, the British shelled the Basilica and The Golden Virgin was toppled, never to be recovered. World War I then ended on 11 November 1918.<\/p>\n

The residents of Albert contemplated placing the sculpture back in its wartime pose but ultimately decided to restore it to its original standing position. The Golden Virgin was recast in 1929 and reinstated atop bell tower during the Basilica’s reconstruction.<\/p>\n

Over a century later, The Golden Virgin remains a symbol of the triumph of good over evil. Her remarkable journey through war and its enduring legacy still touches the hearts of those who encounter it today.<\/p>\n
