Eglise Bonsecours church IMGP6239.jpg, originally uploaded by ©mderome.
Continuing on the presentation of my city here is The Notre-Dame -de Bonsecours chapel. This church is situated on St-Paul street in old Montreal, right beside the Bonsecours market. The actual church was build in 1771 on the remains of the previous chapel that was destroyed by fire. It is home to the remains of Marguerite Bourgeois first teacher and founder of the Congregation Notre-Dame. You can visit a small museum and see archeological artifacts from her period.This churches particularity is that you will find sailing boats given by sailors to the church hanging from the ceiling. This church was adopted as the Sailors church due to it’s location next to the port.
This picture was taken during the All nighter around 22:00. I used a tripod and a long exposure to capture the traffic passing by. You can see the lineup of people waiting to attend a Gospel choir presentation.The temperature was around -19c.
