The end of the apparition.

 

The apparition lasted about ten minutes and when the Virgin left again, the branches of the holm oak which had bowed when Our Lady appeared, rose. It should be noted that only the three children had seen and heard Notre-Dame and this luminous reflection but at the time of Notre-Dame's arrival, everyone also noticed that the small branches of the top of the tree had tilted as if they had actually been walked on by someone. These phenomena, which everyone could observe, made those present say that the children were telling the truth.

After the departure of Notre-Dame, those present recited the Litanies and fervor increased when everyone returned to their home.
