Pano Eglise Epernay
France

Notre-Dame - Epernay

Cette église, dédiée à Notre Dame, patronne de la ville, succède à celle de style italien endommagée en 1892 et démolie en 1909.
Le seul vestige de cet édifice demeure l’élégant portail Saint Martin (1540) situé place Hugues Plomb. Une grande partie des vitraux, le maître-autel et l’orgue, ainsi qu’une pierre tombale du XIV°siècle, furent transférés dans la nouvelle église.
Si la première pierre fut posée en 1898, et l’ouverture au culte en 1907, l’édifice ne fut vraiment achevé qu’en 1915. Mais dans la nuit du 24 au 25 juillet 1918, un bombardement provoqua l’effondrement des voûtes de la nef et endommagea la façade. L’église restaurée, ne sera consacrée que le 13 avril 1925. Témoignage fidèle du gothique de transition, son architecture en fait un lieu recueilli qui porte à la prière. La véritable richesse artistique de l’église Notre-Dame réside dans les admirables vitraux du XVIème siècle, avec, entre autres, la vie de saint Remi, de saint Augustin et le cycle de la Vierge mais aussi d’autres verrières remarquables : la charité de saint Martin, l’arbre de Jessé, le sermon sur la montagne, la colère de Noé.
L' orgue de 1869 (classé monument historique) signé Cavaillé-Coll a été entièrement restauré en 2001.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
