Statues of Our Lady Found Untouched Amid Debris After Hurricane Ida in Louisiana

A small miracle, but a miracle nonetheless, considering the damage done by Hurricane Ida.

This is amazing! 😱

St. Hubert Catholic Church in Garyville, La. posted an amazing photo of a statue of Our Lady remaining perfectly intact following Hurricane Ida.

The Category 4 storm made landfall on Sun., Aug. 29, leaving more than a million people in the New Orleans metropolitan area without power. Hundreds of thousands also lack water and fuel.

The church near New Orleans published a photo on Aug. 30, thanking Our Lady for protection from the storm. The post then led other users to share their photos of untouched statues of Our Lady after the hurricane!

Here’s the church’s post below:

The church’s post reads, “In the midst of tree damage, Our Lady stood as protection for our village of Garyville. Not a branch touched her as they fell all around her. Thank you Mother Mary for interceding for us.”
