Sainte Anne de Beaupre'


From Quebec Day 1 - Ste. Anne de Beaupre'
Sitting perhaps 20 miles north of Quebec, this most famous church may take your breath away when you walk through the door. I'll keep my comments to myself, and let you make up your own mind.

This statute of Saint Anne points towards heaven and is located atop the center of the church.

Columns of crutches and canes adorn both sides of the church entrance. Saint Anne was canonized due to her healing powers. For those who have not yet received the gift of faith, perhaps the light bright colors of this sanctuary would make one feel better.
