Plateau de la Croix

Présentes sur tout le territoire, symboles de l’imprégnation du christianisme dans la vie rurale, les croix se suivent, mais ne se ressemblent pas. Certaines sont de bois, quand d’autres sont de fer ou de pierre. Certaines se dressent sur les sommets quand d’autres sont cantonnées dans la vallée. Quant à la mission qui leur est confiée, ce peut être la matérialisation de points de passage comme les croisées de chemins, le repérage de lieux stratégiques ou symboliques, ou encore la signalisation d’un lieu de procession ou de bénédiction. Je suis de ces dernières. De celles qui furent plantées pour rappeler la montée en alpage au début de l’été et la bénédiction des terres, des maisons et des troupeaux par le curé du village.

Oratoire de Miage

Avant de vous attacher à mon histoire, prenez le temps de vous imprégner des lieux. Vous êtes ici dans un des sites les plus emblématiques du Val Montjoie. Si authentique qu’on se croirait revenu au premier matin du monde. Si majestueux que le vœu d’humilité devient une évidence. Si haut qu’on se croirait aux portes du ciel. Et face au panorama grandiose qui unit en son sein le Vorasset, le col de Tricot, les glaciers suspendus et les dômes de Miage, Moi ! Tel un pèlerin en prière. Invocant les saints pour que rien ne change. Pour que la terre reste nourricière, que l’herbe pousse en abondance, que l’eau et l‘air soient toujours purs. Parce que c’est bien cela qui m’a été confié. La protection des alpages, et de facto, des troupeaux. D’ici, je suis idéalement placé pour le faire. C’est sûrement ce qu’a dû penser le notaire Fontaine, en choisissant de me déplacer en 1975. On domine mieux la situation, porté à 1500 m d’altitude !

Palais Lumiere

Beautiful exhibition at this facility. Well curated and the building and surroundings were lovely. The boat ride from Geneva just added to the experience in a very positive manner.
