Saint Peter

The 17th century baroque high altar, in black marble with white torsos, features a broken pediment topped by Saint Michael defeating the devil, a wooden sculpture gifted in 1763. A painting of the Virgin and Child depicts the Redeemer’s promise and the devil’s fate. The tabernacle bears a carved throne for the Blessed Sacrament, flanked by polychrome terracotta statues of the Virgin with Child and St. Peter.

The left side altar, in neo-classical style, with a portico-shaped altarpiece, dates from 1840 or 1843. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, whose statue, richly dressed and decorated, occupies the central niche. It dates from the 19th century and participates in processions. Next to it, we can see a frame with a reproduction of Our Lady of Grace, a miraculous Virgin venerated in the church of Berzée.

The right side altar honors Incourt’s protector. It features a polychrome plaster statue from 1919 by Maison Billaux-Grossé, with a shrine added in 2009. On the right stands the miraculous 18th century statue in Spanish dress, used in Pentecostal processions. On the left, a red velvet banner with Saint Ragenufle’s effigy (late 19th c.) and a 13th centenary flag from 1950. Saint Ragenufle cures fever and dropsy.

At the back of the right aisle is the statue of Saint Rita of Cascia, surrounded by flowers and candles, an object of veneration by the faithful, especially for desperate causes. The representation of the so-called saint of the impossible was brought directly from Cascia, the place where the saint died in Italy, for the collegiate church of Incourt.

At the back of the left nave, a small altar is dedicated to Saint Peter, chief of the apostles and first pope, patron saint of the village of Incourt since 650 AD. We can see his polychrome stone statue; he is recognizable by his keys and his rooster. Next to it, a painting by Vandervorst, dating from 1862, also presents the patron saint of our collegiate church.

At the bottom of the two side naves, you can admire magnificent carved Baroque panels, remains of the two confessionals from the former Cistercian abbey of La Ramée, in Jauchelette. A former priest of Incourt had the unfortunate idea of dismantling this quality furniture. We see angel heads, fruit decorations and angel-cariatides, one of which carries Veronica's linen with the image of the Holy Face of Christ
