Take the time to silently contemplate
the works of famous or anonymous artists who painted or worked the wood, pewter
and glass, with abandon or discretion, using masterful or sometimes naive techniques.
Let
the bells ring out
Church steeples, beacons in the Quebec landscape, have
marked the centre of village life for generations.
Guardians
keep watch
The guardians of these places of worship, often deserted now,
are doing everything they can to open churches, chapels and cathedrals to passing
visitors.
Conserving treasures
Furnishings, gold and silver, liturgical
garb, stained glass, paintings: the dialogue between spirituality and art continues.
Look
for works by Baillairgé, Bourgault, Hébert, Jobin, Levasseur, Plamondon,
Ozias Leduc and many more.
