Devotion to the Sacred Heart took off in the 18th century and reached its apogee in the following century following revelations made to Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, Visitandine of Paray-le-Moniale between 1673 and 1675. Public worship of the Sacred Heart only emerged after 1672 under the efforts of the Society of Jesus. The official recognition of the Church intervenes only with the decree of January 26, 1765.
