Procession Votive - Introducing the Tableau

Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.

The Procession Votive traces the life of Jesus. Each 'station' is introduced by a child of the village holding a sign - in this case, the Flagellation. The innocence and beauty of the young girl makes it all the more poignant.

If you've come to this series for the first time today, please click to read the history of the Procession Votive in Roquebrune village - dating back to 1467.

  6. Thank you, Jilly, for your explanation yesterday. There is something very moving in the child's face and the face of the man behind her.

  8. I echo what brattcat says. They're acting their parts. She's quite angelic and he's taking his role seriously as well.
