The Virgin Mary Stops the Invasion of Christendom

On Saturday, October 25, 732, the first day of Ramadan, the Moslem invaders decided to engage in battle with the Franks, just north of Poitiers, France. The leader of the Franks, Charles Martel, defeated the Arab army, which had to retreat. This victory ended the Moslem invasions north of the Pyrenees. Charles Martel attributed his victory to the intercession of the Virgin Mary.
