The
chapel of the seven saints.
|
|
Seven Km from
Plouaret, the chapel of the 7 saints is
located in a hamlet, part of Le Vieux-Marché
village. The chapel is dedicated to the
seven sleeping saints of Ephesus- in
Turkey now-Their history is found in a
breton ballad and in the 18th verse of
the Coran. This inspired a scholar in
oriental civilisations, Louis Massignon,
to build a bridge between the christian
and the muslim religions. So each year,
at the end of July, people of muslim and
christian faith meet together, united in
the worship for a sharing of peace.
