The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Bonsecours is a minor Catholic basilica located in Bonsecours, near Rouen, on the site of a pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin Mary and overlooking the Rouen metropolis.
Mount Thuringia has a long tradition of devotion to Mary. As early as the 11th century, a chapel was dedicated to the Virgin, whom people came to honor under the name of “Notre Dame du Bon Secours”.
This chapel became a church and parish in the 13th century.
The boatmen of the Seine were particularly fond of going there on pilgrimage, which is why there were a number of model boats hanging in the nave as ex-votos.
A pilgrimage of 50,000 people was reported in 1552.
The building underwent many modifications over the centuries, as well as destruction during the Wars of Religion. Although ruined by the Revolution of 1789, it has retained its most important and revered piece: the statue of Notre-Dame de Bonsecours, an anonymous work in polychrome wood dating from the 16th century.
In 1838, Abbé Godefroy was entrusted with the project to build the present church.
Numerous bishoprics in France and overseas, as well as those of Antioch, Babylon and Isfahan, contributed to the building's financing through donations.
The foundation stone was laid on May 4, 1840 by Cardinal-Prince de Croÿ. The first mass, celebrated on August 15, 1842, was attended by 20,000 faithful from Rouen's fourteen parishes.
he privilege of the ‘coronation’ was granted in 1870 by Pope Pius IX and Pope Benedict XV gave it the title of minor basilica in 1919.
I managed to persuade my Wife that it would be a good idea to go to the beach for the day as we have not had a holiday so far this year.
I am not sure that she realized i meant starting on the beach at 4.30:-)
We did have a splendid sunrise followed by coffee on the beach and eggs benedict at a very nice little cafe near by. We then sat and watched Porthcawl start to wake up.
On the down side, she got a better beach shot than me, She has a smug look on her face.
Somewhere between Rome and Naples...
I've been in Italy for the past two months.
I'm back in LA I'm so confused.
This polaroid is all dusty I can't be bothered.
Not usually quite so busy (thank heavens!), but this was the day of the Lanes Summer Fayre....

Curé de Sainte Maxime depuis 2008
Le père Guy tire sa révérence , il aurait bien joué les prolongations , mais son médecin et son Archevêque, lui ont ordonné de prendre des vacances
Ce curé laissera une trace indélébile dans la paroisse
Il part avec des bons souvenirs plein la tête
Je vais regretter ma sacristine Conchita
Mais aussi mon amitié avec des personnes extérieures à l'Eglise
Précise le Chanoine , mes excellentes relations avec des laïques : Entre la Mairie et la Paroisse , j'avais rarement vu cela ailleurs
Varois depuis 7 générations . A 60 ans le père Guy va prendre
un repos du côté de Toulon
Ce prêtre à l'esprit grand ouvert , pourrait être un modèle pour l'entente entre toutes les religions
