Calvaire de Saint-Thégonnec

ENCLOS PAROISSIAL DE SAINT-THÉGONNEC

A parish close is an enclosed area around the parish church, including the church yard and a number of other features. In common with others in the area, the Saint-Thégonnec close features a large ceremonial entrance arch, stressing the importance of the close as a focus for pilgrimage and pardons. An impressive calvary or crucifix forms the focus of the church yard. As at nearby Lampaul-Guimiliau, there is a separate charnel house or ossuary, with a life-sized tableau of the Entombment of Christ.
