Oratoires Saint-Louis et Saint-Romain

VILLECROZE

Photo Oratoires Saint-Louis et Saint-Romain

Ces deux oratoires sont les plus anciens du village : ils datent de 1819. Il s'agit de Saint-Louis, Roi de France (à noter la croix avec fleurs de lys) et de Saint-Romain, patron du village.


Oratories, whose name comes from the Latin words "orare" (to pray) and "oratorio" (to meditate), are part of the vernacular heritage. These small religious monuments are found mainly in rural areas, where pilgrims and peasants could meditate on their way to the fields without going to church. They are dedicated to a saint or the Virgin Mary in thanksgiving for a granted wish, out of devotion or in search of protection.
