- Abstract
The communication is about apparitions in the pivotal period of the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era from the example of five apparitions in French space: the Trois-Épis in Alsace (1491), the Thirteen-Stones in the Aveyron (1509), Garaison in the Pyrenees (1515), Cotignac in Provence (1519) and Notre-Dame de Bonne Nouvelle à Nancy (1525). They occurred in border zones marked by political and religious mutations, or even real social crises in Alsace. Contrary to the apparitions of a large part of the Middle Ages, they mainly concern lay people of modest origin who are responsible for spreading a collective message. The Virgin is often associated with the symbol of Eucharistic bread, object of protest during Protestantism. Change also concerns the reaction of the Church, which makes places seem the support of missions against Protestantism.
