After the Belgian Revolution of 1830, the country of Belgium was created. The country of Luxembourg was partitioned and part of it became a province of Belgium. Belgium had been a part of the Netherlands. The northern part of the Netherlands was Protestant. The southern part was Catholic. The politics is another story. Language and political representation and economics were some of the issues. To make a long story short, Belgium became a separate country independent of the Netherlands. Belgium consists of ten provinces. The southernmost province of Belgium is called Luxemburg, Belgium. It had been a part of Luxembourg. Luxembourg was partitioned. The Luxemburg Province of Belgium is larger than what remained of the country of Luxembourg. The southernmost part of Luxemburg, Belgium, is called Belgian Lorraine. It borders the Lorraine region of France.
Recall that the Cardinal of Lorraine had promoted devotion to Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel. Also recall that Luxembourg had a strong devotion to Our Lady of Consolation beginning in the 17th century. When the border changed in 1831 and over half of Luxembourg became Belgium, the devotion remained.
Technically, devotion to Our Lady of Consolation didn't develop in Belgium. It was already present since the 13th century at Vilvoorde where the Carmelites later came. It was already present at the numerous Augustinian monasteries. It was already present in the 17th century in Luxembourg, over half of which would become Belgium's southernmost province. Devotion to Our Lady of Consolation was well established in Belgium the day that Belgium first appeared on a map.
