When I think of Europe, I immediately think of old churches and cathedrals.
And the lives of the people who worshiped there.
People of all kinds, the rich, the poor, the widowed, the hopeful.
The heart of the people is found in places like these and I am so happy that our visit to Aix-en-Provence included a visit to Saint Sauveur. It was iffy as whether we would be able to enter or not. But luckily there wasn’t a mass in progress and so the men removed their hats and we quietly stepped inside, instantly going back in time several hundred years.
The cathedral was built on the site of a temple to Apollo, so the legend goes, between the 5th to the 18th century.
Aix-en-Provence was claimed by the Romans in the year 123 BC. That’s a long long history with battles and takeovers and plundering and…well. I’m so happy I didn’t have to live in 123 BC, aren’t you?
