bmmr-9507-remensnyder-book.txt Here she succinctly discusses the development of the cult of the saints, and provides an overview of the intertwining of Sainte Foy's history with that of Conques, and the abbey's resulting rise to fame as a pilgrimage shrine on the route to Compostela. Furthermore, she situates Sainte Foy's cult in the more general social context of eleventh-century southern France, examining briefly the peace movement and the friction between milites and unarmed members of society. Accompanying the Liber miraculorum are Sheingorn's translations of a version of the Passio composed sometime in the tenth century, and the earliest version of the translatio (composed between approximately 1020 and 1060) relating Sainte Foy's arrival at Conques in the ninth century. www.infomotions.com /serials/bmmr/bmmr-9507-remensnyder-book.txt   (932 words)

Sainte Foy Tarentaise For instance, the pillared houses peculiar to Sainte Foy Tarentaise have inspired the architect of the new center of Val d'Isère. Sainte Foy is the last element which completes the tourist area of Haute Tarentaise located in the middle of the Olympic Space (Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes, Val d'Isère). The aim of Sainte Foy is not to reproduce the projects of the resorts which have contributed to the success of the region of Haute Tarentaise but on the contrary to be complementary in this environment by giving a new answer to the customers' requirements. cstars.ucdavis.edu /~stephane/presentation_sf-en.htm   (348 words)

The Treasure of Sainte Foy In the picturesque, isolated French village of Conques stands the Abbey of Sainte Foy. The church houses a priceless medieval treausre whose centerpiece is a magnificent, three-fot-high statue of the holy martyr Sainte Foy, bejewelled and covered with gold, its strange alabaster eyes gazing ahead as if at a nearby invisible world. In The Treasure of Sainte Foy, Harris has written a novel that is spellbinding in every sense of the world. dept.physics.upenn.edu /~heiney/harris/sainte.html   (480 words)

Port Sainte Foy et Ponchapt Town Hall : A Presentation of the Commune It became the commune of Port Sainte Foy with the merger of the three parishes of Canet, Tizac and La Rouquette and, more recently, Port Sainte Foy et Ponchapt when Ponchapt was added in 1960. Port St Foy et Ponchapt is twinned with Plobsheim in Alsace and the two communes have strong ties going back to 1940 when many Plobsheim families took refuge in Port St Foy from the German occupation of their own town. The existence of Port St Foy on the right bank of the Dordogne River is directly linked to the 13th century bastide of the Agenais St Foy founded in 1255 by Alphonse du Poitiers, brother of King Louis (St Louis). www.pays-de-bergerac.com /english/town-halls/port-ste-foy/index.asp   (501 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rodez It was known during the Middle Ages as "Majesté de Sainte Foy". The shrine enclosing the relics of the Saint, which in 1590 was hidden in the masonry connecting the pillars of the choir, was found in 1875, repaired, transferred to the cathedral of Rodez for a novena, and brought back to Conques, a distance of 25 miles, on the shoulders of the clergy.
