The patronage of this church has been entrusted to Saint Simeon, who is mentioned in the New Testament. According to the biblical account by Luke, he and the prophetess Anna were the two people present in the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after the birth of Jesus Christ, when Mary and Joseph—following Jewish custom—entered the Temple with their firstborn son and an offering (two doves). The Evangelist records the following prayer on the occasion of this encounter between the elderly Simeon and Jesus as the promised Messiah: "Now, Lord, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the presence of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)

This unusual church has been covered with a covering and has an imposing bell tower. It's worth taking a look when you visit.

In the 6th century, Sulpice came from the first senators of Gaul, he was elected bishop after the death of Rémy in the year 584, on the recommendation of King Gontran. He attended the second council of Mâcon in the year 585 and that of Auvergne in 586. He died in 591 in the odor of sanctity. Saint Gregory of Tours praises his wisdom, his pastoral concern and his zeal to restore discipline.

In Orleans, around 453, Saint Aignan was the bishop who, putting his trust in God alone, obtained from him, through repeated prayers and tears, that the city besieged by the Huns be delivered.

Here I almost died. I think I had the scare of my life. Having lost control of my bike on the slope, I fell on my luggage rack, and it braked my rear wheel, veiling it. For a quarter of a second, I thought I was going to finish him in the background, and that I couldn't get out without a serious injury. It's crazy all the ideas that go through your head in such a short time. Eventually, or miraculously, everything stopped, and I didn't even find myself on the ground. #AMDG

In Mayenne, there are about 6,400 crosses on the roads, of which at least fifty refer to the apparitions of Pontmain. Pontmain? One of the 5 places where the Most Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in France. In 1871, the whole parish of Pontmain prayed to ward off the Prussian war. Our Lady appears in the center of the village, and says to them: "But pray my children, God will answer you in no time. My son allows himself to be touched." The Virgin holds in her hands a red crucifix with a sign "Jesus Christ" above. After 1871, Calvaries multiplied in Mayenne and often took up the model of the appearance of Pontmain. Even today, the "Crucifix de Pontmain" is very visible in Mayenne.

Family castle built in the 19th century, it is a place that is not very accessible.

Simeon is an old man from the time of Jesus Christ who was told by God that he would not die until he saw the Messiah. Imagine the anguish he had seeing himself aging day after day. But one day, in front of the Temple of Jerusalem, he saw Mary and Joseph bringing their son Jesus, to fulfill the Law of Moses, like good practitioners. Then Simeon took the child: "Now Lord, you may let your servant go in peace according to your word, for my eyes have seen the Savior whom you are preparing, Light to enlighten the Greeks, and Glory of your chosen people." Simeon's canticle is also called the "Nunc Dimitis". It is sung every night before going to sleep by all the priests and all the men and women religious of the Catholic Church throughout the world.
