Seven places of faith
Seven places of faith
Un ange passe is what the French-speaking Swiss say when these unexpected moments of contemplation occur. Illustrating as they do seven aspects of the religious dimension of our existence, the seven little cottages dotted along the shores of Lake Morat will also make you pause for thought.
 
 
 
We are constantly being told that material progress has left crucial questions unanswered. Why are we here? What is happiness? Why is there such injustice in the world? Why do we have to die? Is there a God? What about love? And so on.
 
 
Apparently life has meaning because of something deeper down. This is what Un ange passe seeks to unravel. Questions and answers both come up in the works of artists who explore key religious themes such as miracles, the Word, exchange, benediction, the afterlife, the Creation and good tidings. Seven cottages – or seven heavens – together form a path that will stir you and give you the chance to pause and marvel, to find joy and strength, to reflect and move on.
