The town of Monte Sião in southern Minas Gerais state in Brazil can be considered a land of graces, since the first church dedicated to Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is located there. Our Lady’s intercession is credited with ending a prolonged period of drought there in the 1930s.
The Virgin promised the nun that she would give abundant graces to those who wore the medal. The devotion spread throughout the world and made its way to Brazil. The first of the graces received came when a statue depicting the image of Mary on the medal arrived from Portugal in 1860. However, in 1937, it was removed from the main altar at the request of the bishop, who considered that the statue had sensual lines because it highlighted the bust and waist.
