You may know the famous Hyacinth Buckett from "Keeping up appearances".
The dukes of Vendôme are a very religious couple and choose to have their daughter christened on October 13.
For catholic people, that date has a special meaning.
On that day in 1917, the Virgin Mary is supposed to have appeared for the last time in Fátima, Portugal, to the 3 little shepherds, the (today) Blessed Lucia, and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta.
The Virgin appeared for the 1st time on May, 13 and then on every 13th until October.
Is Jacinthe a common name? It's a beautiful name, but I have never heard it before.
Jacinthe d'Orléans was born on October, 9th at Dreux.
PdV has an article on her christening.
Godparents were Pss Imacculata of Liechtenstein (Marie d'Orléans daughter) the ducess of Gramont , Pss Silvia d'Arenberg, Pr.Pierre d'Orléans (Eudes' son), Charles-Philippe d'Orléans and colonel comte Hervé de Solages
