medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
That's what I thought. Vezelay was also one of the stops on the Via Santiago - and definitely not a cathedral church.
I didn't realize that St. Denis had cathedral status, however. Very interesting.
Thanks
George

>Sainte-Marie-Madeleine of Vézelay is an abbatial church in... Vézelay (Burgundy). It has a Romanesque nave and a Gothic apse. The church you're
thinking of is the former abbey church of Saint-Denis, just outside of Paris. (It was/is a cathedral, I'm fuzzy on the details.) In fact, the town of S-D is really
now a suburb of Paris, part of the "red belt" around the city, a locus of recent and probably future riots. Every time the natives get restless and start burning
cars, I hold my breath. You'll find extensive pictures of Vézelay at www.art-roman.net, click on Bourgogne romane and then Vézelay. There are at least 7
pages of gorgeous photos.
