As Alain said, it is likely that this departed saint would have preferred the money spent in his honor to have been put to better use.<br /><br />I did find the preserved body a bit disconcerting and chose not to take the close up photographs. This was a most unusual church from my prior experiences in the churches of Paris.<br /><br />The architecture is beautifully crafted. This church is less than a block from Bon Marché and is hardly noticeable from the street.<br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-38608830775046433952013-04-21T23:39:31.896-03:002013-04-21T23:39:31.896-03:00So much beauty, everywhere.So much beauty, everywhere.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324315351283229508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-82996274450636585132013-04-21T20:48:54.552-03:002013-04-21T20:48:54.552-03:00Just came to your blog to see some photos of Paris...Just came to your blog to see some photos of Paris and forgot that on Sunday you have religious pictures. I read the comment by Starman and it made me smile and reminded me of the article I just read. France is number 5 or 8 (depending on the report of classification) as the least religious country in the world. First I think was Estonia, then Sweden Norway and Denmark were about the same, then the Czech Republic then France and Japan.<br /> <br />By the way the mother chapel (or original chapel) of the Lazaristes used to be in the old prieuré of Saint-Lazare (which used to be a leprosy center) but they were thrown out by the French Revolution (the Revolution was as much against the Catholic Church as the nobility as you may recall – which is why the French are some of the least religious people in Europe and the world) and it became a jail. Some of the “Lazaristes” this is what they were called, went even under the guillotine. In 1817 they were allowed again to have a chapel and this is when they moved the body (or skeleton) in this chapel rue de Sèvres. By the way they were also thrown out of Germany in 1877 – don’t know why, or don’t recall and even though they are in several countries, they are no longer that big. Anyway the mission of Lazaristes of St Vincent de Paul is directed now by someone in the US (an American) in Maryland. <br />Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-9739521887084612232013-04-21T17:32:19.655-03:002013-04-21T17:32:19.655-03:00I find it simply amazing that they can "study...I find it simply amazing that they can "study" this crap and still come away believing it!!!!!Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-11999050180732084302013-04-21T13:01:19.102-03:002013-04-21T13:01:19.102-03:00Your welcome history post about Saint Vincent de P...Your welcome history post about Saint Vincent de Paul serves to show us the vast difference between the magnificence of Saint Vincent de Paul, at the age of 19, and the misguided young man, age 19, who elected to create such destruction this week in Boston. Needless to say, we know who was the better man.
