Statue of St. Anthony of Padua in St. Pierre de Montmartre in Paris by Beausoleil

St. Pierre, around the corner from Sacre Coeur, is one of the oldest churches in Paris. There was a Roman Temple followed by a Merovingian Church and then other churches and abbeys until the St. Pierre we see today (with additions) was started in 1133 and consecrated in 1147. It has been deconsecrated and reconsecrated over the years, bombed during the war and desecrated during the various revolutions. Much remains and much has been added. It is a magical place that I find much more interesting to visit than nearby Sacre Coeur. In addition to the ancient statues, there is marvelous modern stained glass by the master stained glass window maker Max Ingrand, and these wonderful bronze doors by the Italian, Tommaso Gismondi, were added in 1980.

Musée des Beaux Arts by Beausoleil

Behind Chartres Cathedral are the peaceful Jardins de l'Évêché and the Beaux Arts Museum. As many times as we've enjoyed the garden, we have never visited the museum so this was the day. The museum in the former episcopal palace and has classic and modern art, plus antique harpsichords which were a real draw for us. They also had a small display of antique musical instruments that was fun.

San Francisco Altar by Aeren

It's difficult to see in this photo, but the statue at the bottom window shows Jesus carrying his cross, the one above him is a statue of Jesus with his right arm bent at the elbow and his hand in a blessing with his index and next finger in a kind of peace sign. The third window from the bottom could be Jesus again in heaven or it could be a representation of God with a staff that looks like a tree. The top window seems to be the angel Gabriel with wings extended and a lance in his hand.

Saints for Sale by Aeren

There's a good sized market on Arch Street that you can find almost anything. It's a great place to look for statutes of every kind and size as evidenced by this picture.

Quobba of Lalla Zohra by phostak

Next to the Koutobia, the tomb of Lalla Zohra sits with its quiet, whitewashed symmetry. Lalla Zohra was born to a freed slave and religious leader. A woman by day, she flew throughout the city at night as a dove and thus knew all the the secrets of the Marrakechis.
