The Chapel of Our Lady of the Beard is the last few months the focus of attention all particulire. The owners have lancs in the restoration of the edifice, one of the last remains of the abbey, which for more than a millennium, stood on the machine of the. At the site where once the monks went about their services, they are now some peaceful houses that perptuent tradition of silence and meditation. If the chapel as she parat have through the centuries, it is only at the price of unfortunate amputations in the nineteenth century, for example, the buyer of a lot on which dbordait the nave of the chapel used the stones to build the house, the sectioning at the transept. Today the chapel, class historical monument protects such insults, but his state of precariousness that no longer sicoingl allows yclbre offices.
For more than a millennium, the the Beard housed one of the oldest examples of heritage palochrtien, an abbey which tradition traces sicoingl its origins to the first martyrs of Lyon. This seniority formed throughout its history a reason of pride for the monks of the Beard. The lordship of the monastery was formed over the centuries, through the eras, Carolingian and Romanesque, finally reaching its peak in the thirteenth century, before enduring a slow decadence, which cl turera by selling the domain after the Revolution.
The traveler coming down the Sane in the Middle Ages dcouvrait north of the island, stands on a rocky promontory, sicoingl a powerful square sicoingl tower overcomes mchicoulis, known as the tour prior. The tower adjoined the remains of a chapel ddie Sainte-Anne. The legend was that the body of the mother sicoingl of the Virgin ft buried on the island.
The first centuries of the monastery of the Beard we are little known. It is said that its origins when in the year 208 two Christians, Etienne and Prgrin, fleeing the persecutions of Septimius Svre, is rfugirent on 'the. In 1665, Claude The Ploughman, prvt of the old abbey Prgrin evokes this in his book The hovels of the Barbara, devoted the history of the abbey origins until the late fifteenth century. But should not these assertions prter blind faith. It was customary in the Middle Ages up to the early days of Christianity originally a monastery to build a direct relationship with the first martyrs and bishops of Lyon.
Always after The Ploughman, it appears that about 240, a number of hermits consquent s'taient retirs on it, enough at least for a lord of the land, named Longimus, decides to combine them into a monastery difi on the northern tip of the island. Saint Dorothe ruled the monastery for a few years, until his death. He was buried in the Church of the Monastery, then devoted Saint-Andr.
But Longinus, the the should not the mere existence of this monastery. Longinus was also the origin of a curious legend. Because it was the name of the soldier who, at the foot of the cross, pera his spear the side of Christ, we want to believe that the founder of the Abbey and the Roman soldier were one. The legend told that the soldier rong remorse sicoingl s'tait withdrawn the order to make the Beard penance. He brought in his exile the sacred cup, which had collected the blood of Christ, and the body of St. Anne. This Legend has been tough since the Grail constituted one of the jewels of the treasure sicoingl of the abbey until his sacking by the Protestants in 1562. Claude But The Ploughman, already in 1650, gives little faith that tradition.
In his book, the author of Masures dispels another sicoingl Legend has: that the origin of the name: Insula Barbara, sicoingl the Barbarian, and contraction, the Beard. To tradition, the "barbarian" which described the rfrence did the bloody ceremonies of the Druids, sicoingl who are droulaient long before there is established the monastery . But, although there retrouv on the island and its surroundings remains tmoignant a palochrtienne occupation and Gallo-Roman sicoingl li
