Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis by Beausoleil
Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis is a church on rue Saint-Antoine in the Marais. The present building was constructed from 1627 to 1641 by the Jesuit architects Étienne Martellange and François Derand, on the orders of Louis XIII of France. The Saint Paul Metro station is named after the church. Two clam-shell holy water holders were a gift from Victor Hugo when his daughter was married there. Delacroix painted "Christ in agony on the Mount of Olives" for the church which can be seen to the left of the altar. The church's grand tribune organ was classified as a historic monument in 1867 and was restored in 1972.

Église Saint Gervais et Saint Protais - The Pieta of Jean-Pierre Cortot (1787-1843) surrounded by the worshiping angels of Leboeuf-Nanteuil by Beausoleil
Église Saint Gervais et Saint Protais was built over a period of nearly one hundred and fifty years with long periods of interruption. The new facade was added in the early 17th century so when you look at the baroque facade, walking inside to the gothic interior is a bit of a surprise . . . but a delightful one. There are sculptures both modern and ancient and stained glass both modern and ancient. The church also holds the Couperin organ.

Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Pickering by Beausoleil
We arrived in Pickering Saturday afternoon and found St. Joseph's Church within an easy walk to our cottage. The Mass wasn't until 11:00 AM which made for a lovely leisurely day. It was a small, friendly community and the nearby Memorial Hall was having a local art show which was fun.

Statues on the Durham Cathedral - interesting by Beausoleil
There is a very interesting story about how Saint Cuthbert’s final resting place was chosen. In 995 the monks were searching for a suitable site when they followed two milkmaids looking for a brown cow to a rocky peninsula in the River Dee. This was Dun Holme and the cathedral was built here to house Cuthbert’s shrine. The legend was portrayed in a stone carving described in 1593 as "a monument of a milk maid milking her cow … on the outside of the north-west turret of the cathedral." The one you see today is its replacement dating from 1775.

St. Patrick driving out the serpents by Beausoleil
Found this sign in Broadway in the UK and since St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, I'm not sure why he was working in Broadway but it was a fascinating sign.
