The village of Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois is a small village located near center of France.
Once home to Our Lady D Iron, it is situated near larger town of Blois, its population was only 517 citizens in year 2007, which was a decrease from 636 citizens who'd lived there in 1999.
It was in chapel of this tiny village of Saint-Sulpice-le-Dunois, in year 1631, that our story takes place involving Our Lady D Iron.

There was a young French couple living in village at that time who felt themselves singularly blessed. 
Were they not fortunate? 
They took pleasure in their youth & enjoyed good health, had gainful employment, owned a modest home, & they'd recently been blessed with a fine baby whom they felt was as sweet as Babe of Bethlehem. 
Thus they mused on their way home together after early morning Mass one day.

As soon as they entered their home, Pierre hurried to cradle to gaze lovingly at his infant son. 
The child must have been restless, he thought, as there was evidence that he'd struggled with bedclothes which were tossed about & tangled strangely about infant. 

Pierre reached in & lifted his son to hold him in his arms, only to find that tiny figure was rigid & cold. 
Stunned, he called for his wife disbelieving, for it seemed their baby was dead!

Pierre’s thoughts turned to Our Blessed Mother, & then to statue of Our Lady D Iron at parish church. 
They had spent many hours there in past praying for her assistance, & her help had never failed them. 
They determined to take their baby there instantly! Surely, Mary wouldn't fail them in this time of dire need.

Together they entered church, & sadly laid lifeless form at feet of statue of Our Lady D Iron. 
As they began to pray for her intercession, they dedicated their baby to Blessed Virgin Mary. 
In that very instant, child who'd been smothered by struggling in its cradle, cried out & came back to life. 
News of miracle spread far & wide, & fame of Our Lady D'Iron was assured.
