This was taken while going into this church that was right nearby a park and thereafter this was the time I was really finished with the day.
It was superb. So say the least I wish I would have bad it over which was right across as well that was the original place of the origins of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL yet that is for another day.
,very good photo.:)
ReplyDeleteGreat :)
ReplyDeleteWow! For the new world, that's quite an old church. The ship above the pews is certainly eye-catching.
ReplyDeletevery nice
ReplyDeleteOui, the chapel was dedicated to the protection of the ships if I am not mistaken. It is right by the old Port of Montreal. It is good that you were there at a time when the organ was being played, nice to hear it in your video. The Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours chapel or "Our Lady of Good Help" is really beautiful and right in Old Montreal. In the 19th century, the chapel came to be a pilgrimage site for the sailors who arrived in the Old Port of Montreal; they would make offerings to the Virgin in gratitude for her "good help" for safe sea voyages. In 1849, Mgr. Ignace Bourget (the one that is in the crypt of the Basilica, in another of your picture sets), Bishop of Montreal, gave the chapel a statue of the Virgin as Star of the Sea, which was placed atop the church overlooking the harbour. Emphasizing the connection of the chapel and the port, the chapel is often called the Sailors' Church.
