The Church of Collège
Notre-Dame de Jamhour
.....
....Molded
to be the link with God, similar to a giant marguerite, the church of Notre-Dame
de Jamhour stands at the top of the hill to greet us. Nature around dances
with God’s grace and every detail accompanies us towards the Virgin
Mary awaiting us. We
step inside; the church is welcoming. The canopy of Heaven, with its immobilized
big waves, embraces the Light. The reflection of the stained glass draws
the limit between heaven and earth. We pad in the big sanctuary and feel
this immense forest in which the eyes fly upon the bluish glows where the
moon, symbolizing the Virgin Mary, travels upwards. No tree, no leaf, and
yet a whole garden dancing upon the light that twinkles all over and trickles
within the vaults. Mary comes nearer, all blue and beautiful. The almond
trees spread upwards in awe to reach the heart of the stars. The roses bow
down in prayer. Jesus brushes the boughs of a cedar… In this blue
ocean, the communion with God takes place. One stained glass leads us to
another until we feel the red Sun of Passion: a true love story.....
