Saints-Martin-et-Brice - 1457 (Nil-Saint-Martin (Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin))

On the program

In Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin, for 18 years, a well-established tradition has been illuminating the village at Christmas time! The inhabitants make and display nativity scenes in front of their houses or in the squares. And, of course, in the church! In 2018, there were 149 of them! How many in 2020? We don't know, but we are sure that the inhabitants will be there and all the streets of the village will be open to the admiration of the walkers. Merry Christmas

Event Host Building

Saints-Martin-et-Brice

This 1773 building of brick and blue stone has an imposing tower topped by a spire.

Inside, we first notice the chancel with the carved oak altar (1787), the stalls and woodwork from the same period, and a large crucifix in Renaissance style. Also worthy of notice are, on the left side altar, a Virgin and Child carved from a single oak block ; a statue of Saint Brice, a disciple of Saint Martin ; and the baptismal font tank (1671).
