Yesterday the village of Roquemaure celebrated the feast day of Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. Where I live, it is not uncommon to see crosses and statues to mark a crossroad either coming in or going out of a village. Most of the villages in the region have a saints name before the name of the village. For instance Roquemaure is St. Anne de Roquemaure. The neighbouring village is St. Laurent de Gallichan. The locals use the saints name when they speak of the villages. It took awhile before I could connect the village to the saints name that came up in conversation.
I thought I would share a few of the roadside markers with you today. Enjoy, and please leave a comment so that I know I am not the only one reading these posts lol.
