The interior of Abbeville's Saint Mary Magdalen Church is a visual feast.

Lush jewel tones. Pascal pastels. Gold leaf. Zodiacal-blues. Alabaster-like carvings.

The leaded-glass and stained windows tell some stories I'm not familiar with.

I sure like that parquet floor in the window above.

The relative grandeur of the church in this small town bespeaks a lot of money invested in it by the community.

The pews are somber, quiet, amidst the surrounding color.

That looks like St.John Vianney in the fourth photo down. He's better known as the Cure of Ars, a simple and very holy country priest, the patron saint of parish priests. Nice blog you have. An good eye!
Thank you for the ID and the compliments! As you know, I've been following your work for some time, with appreciation of your visual and verbal wit.
Aw shucks! Wish I wasn't such a lazy and sometime blogger.
