Shrines to St. Michael.

"Mountains figure prominently at the mighty ganglia of the story of Christianity... As Jesus prays atop the holy mountain, the other world intersects with ours as the divine comes down to the human, as the eternal touches the temporal and mortal. And that other world is the ultimate reality, not this one. No wonder that St Michael, ‘Quis ut Deus,’ has his shrines on lofty peaks; no wonder the Celts worshipped on hills and mountains...

The spirit of the Archangel Michael permeates discussion of the world of the Celts—shrines such as Skellig Michael on precipitous mountain-tops in the cold and wet Celtic desert; early connections with the ancient Eastern world; guardianship of Tuscany, Provence, Normandy, and Cornwall; safe-keeping of wanderers and hermits; motifs of spear, sword, and stone; waging of the war in Heaven and the downfall of Lucifer; the communion of the Grail."

Chapel of Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe

The Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe Chapel is located in the French commune of Aiguilhe, north of the village of Le Puy-en-Velay. It stands on top of an 82-meter volcanic hill and is one of the most important historic Romanesque Catholic chapels. Dedicated to San Michele, this chapel is believed to have come about in 950 by one of the first pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

Архитектура: Древняя часовня на вершине скалы: святилище, окутанное атмосферой духовности

Часовня Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe — место с уникальной атмосферой и довольно ярким внешним видом. Именно здесь римляне поклонялись Меркурию, преклонив колени в доисторической однокамерной гробнице. Именно здесь, позже, христиане раннего Средневековья восхваляли Архангела Михаила. Сюда приходила и молилась мать Жанны д'Арк, а теперь туристы преодолевают нелегкий подъем, стараясь ощутить на себе таинство поклонения богам.
