Attractions and Places To See around Saint-Marcellin-En-Forez - Top 20

On the occasion of the patron saint of this church: The Apostle Thomas, one of the twelve whom Jesus called to his inner circle of disciples, is not frequently mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The passage that is probably best known to most Christians is the one following the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which earned him the less-than-flattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The Evangelist John recounts this in the 20th chapter of his Gospel (the "Good News"). The Gospel of John is the translation of the word "Gospel." This theme naturally offered opportunities for dissemination in religious art of many eras, for example in one of Caravaggio's most famous paintings – for those interested see =>> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg – The feast day of the Apostle Thomas in the liturgical calendar is celebrated partly on July 3rd and partly on December 21st.

I grew up there in Unieux Pertuiset Throughout my youth with childhood friends during school holidays it was every day superb walks in summer and winter from Unieux to Saint-Victor sur Loire and back. in autumn when the Loire burst its banks the hike was impossible the road and the bridges were flooded. on the other hand during the flood we had to go to the grangeant dam because 3 out of 4 valves were open, it was impressive especially with the food supplies.
