5-Saint Fiacre, Saint Barbara of Jacques

In this chapel, we discover two stained glass windows : Saint-Fiacre and Saint-Barbe de Jacques GRUBER 1erhalf of the 20th century, financed by 1928 war damage.

 

 

Left :The spade and the hermitage for Saint-Fiacre, an anchorite herbalist monk, patron saint of market gardeners and gardeners but also the healing saint (hemorrhoids, chancres and other cancers). Market gardeners and gardeners place themselves under his protection and place baskets of fruits and vegetables at the foot of the altar during his feast day in Metz. The feast of Saint-Fiacre takes place every first Sunday in September, which made him a possible competitor for Saint-Gorgon.

Right : The tower, the book and the martyr’s palm for Sainte-Barbara, patron saint of miners and therefore very honored with pomp in Varangéville. Even today, a chapel where she is sculpted in salt exists at the bottom of the mine. Protector of lightning, therefore of fires. (firefighters or explosives, etc.). Her primary attribute is the tower with 3 windows, but no opening, the three windows do not exist or so they are not visible.
