TMO It's all about the opportunity to get rid of Gaddafi once for all and at the same time to try to be in a more favourable position with the new coming powers (Tunisia, Egypt) that succeded to take power from West-tolerated leaders. Probably a warning to other regimes to release more democratic reforms and ensure some kind of regional stability to avoid a worse global crisis (oil crisis like in the 70's)

It's Notre-Dame of Avioth (built between 1250 and 1400), a commune in the Meuse department in Lorraine, north-eastern France (103 inhabitants). Perhaps under the influence of the Cistercians of the Abbey of Orval nearby, pilgrims coming to venerate the statue of the Virgin became so great in number that the modest shrine of Avioth quickly proved to be too small. A new church was built during the second half of the thirteenth-century. Our Lady of Avioth aka Shrine of Temporary Respite : according to popular belief in some provinces, temporary respite is when a stillborn child returns to life for the lapse of time needed in order to confer baptism before final death. Thus, having been baptized, the child may enter paradise instead of wandering in limbo where he would be deprived of the vision of God. In 1993, Pope John Paul II acknowledged the importance of the pilgrimage by giving the church the title of basilica. So long guys 😉
