We visited the Saint-Jacques de Locquirec church
Locquirec is a small seaside town where we like to spend time with family or recharge our batteries for a weekend.
Near the port, in the heart of the village, the Saint-Jacques church owes its name to Saint-Kirec, a Breton monk, disciple of Saint-Tugdual*, bishop of Tréguier who came here to establish his monastery in the 6th century.
The vaults painted by Cléran in 1712 were restored in 2011/2012.
Multiple angels are seen moving through the clouds, many playing trumpets and worshiping angels.
Note on the main altar, in a protective frame, a 15th century altarpiece of the Passion which retraces the Stations of the Cross.
We would like to warmly thank Mr Bernard Moullecqui who accompanied us on our visit to the premises.
*In the 6th century, the Welsh monk Tugdual anchored in Val Trécor. He founded a monastery which gave birth to Tréguier, a town that was both land-based, maritime and religious. Consecrated bishop, Tugdual became one of the seven holy founders of Brittany.
