Pope Pius X signed the decree for her canonization on June 10, 1914. Pope Benedict XV, in order to hasten the process, dispensed with the usual fifty-year process required between death and beatification. She was canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, only 28 years after her death. Her feast day was celebrated on October 3 until the calend ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - François Guizot - 1848 and after The last scene of his political life was singularly characteristic of his inflexible adherence to a lost cause. In the afternoon of February 23, 1848 the king summoned his minister from the chamber, which was then sitting, and informed him that the aspect of Paris and the country during the banquet agitation for reform, and the alarm and division of opinion in the royal family, led him to doubt whether he could retain his ministry. That doubt, replied Guizot, is decisive of the question, and instantly resigned, returning to the chamber only ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - Pilgrimage - Bahá'í Faith A Bahá'í pilgrimage currently consists of visiting the holy places in Haifa, Akká, and Bahjí in Northwest Israel. Bahá'ís do not have access to other places designated as sites for pilgrimage.
Bahá'u'lláh decreed pilgrimage in His Motherbook (Kitáb-i-Aqdas) to two places: the House of Bahá'u'lláh in Baghdad, Iraq, and the House of the Báb in Shiraz, Iran. In two separate Tablets, known as Suriy-i-Hajj, He prescribed specific rites for each of these pilgrimages (lifting the injunction regarding the shaving of one's head for ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - François Guizot - A minister of the Citizen-King In 1831 Casimir-Périer formed a more vigorous and compact administration, terminated in May 1832 by his death; the summer of that year was marked by a formidable republican rising in Paris, and it was not till October 11, 1832 that a stable government was formed, in which Marshal Soult was first minister, the duc de Brogue took the foreign office, Adolphe Thiers the home department, and Guizot the department of public instruction. This ministry, which lasted for nearly four years, was by far the ablest that ever served Louis Philippe. Guizo ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - François Guizot - Early life He was born at Nîmes of a bourgeois Protestant family. His parents, at the time of their union, could not be publicly or legally married by a Protestant pastor, and the ceremony had to take place in secret. The liberal opinions of his family did not, however, save them from the sanguinary intolerance of the Reign of Terror, and on April 8, 1794 his father died on the scaffold at Nîmes. From then on, the boy's mother was completely responsible for his upbringing. She was a woman of slight appearance and of homely manners, bu ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - François Guizot - The Man of Ghent After the Hundred Days, he repaired to Ghent, where he saw Louis XVIII, and in the name of the liberal party pointed out that a frank adoption of a liberal policy could alone secure the duration of the restored monarchy - advice which was ill-received by the king's confidential advisers. This visit to Ghent, at a time when France was prey to a second invasion, was made a subject of bitter reproach to Guizot in after life by his political opponents, as an unpatriotic action. "The Man of Ghent" was one of the terms of insult frequently used ag ...

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - Thérèse de Lisieux - The Little Way Thérèse is known for her "Little Way." Because of her station in a Carmelite convent, Thérèse realized that she would not be able to achieve "great deeds" as saints often did, and so must find another way to express her love of God. She wrote, "Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance ...

The castle (Château de Caen), built ca. 1060 by William the Conqueror, who successfully conquered England in 1066, is one of the largest medieval fortresses of Western Europe.

| | | | | Lisieux: Encyclopedia II - Normandy - History Normandy was the home of the Normans in the early Middle Ages, the last people to successfully invade England. The Normans were a mixture of the indigenous Gauls and of the Viking invaders under the leadership of Rollo (Gange Rolf), who besieged Paris and was given the area of Normandy (Treaty of St.-Claire-sur-Epte, 911) in return for defending it against future pirate attacks.
Rollo's descendant William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066 and became king William I of England. Normandy remained associated with England until 10 ...

In the Channel Islands, the Norman language has developed separately, but not in isolation, to form what are recognised as Jèrriais (in Jersey), Dgèrnésiais or Guernsey French (in Guernsey) and Sercquiais (or Sarkese, in Sark). Jèrriais and Dgèrnésiais are recognised as regional languages by the British and Irish governments within the framework of the British-Irish Council.
