| Description |
La fontaine Saint-Liphard. Saint Liphard (✝ 565) renonçant à de hautes charges, se retira comme ermite à Magdunum à l'âge de 40 ans. Liphard était un cousin de Clovis. Saint-Liphard et son disciple Urbice vécurent près de cette fontaine et fondèrent un monastère. L'eau de la fontaine Saint-Liphard est réputée guérir les maladies des yeux. Le culte des fontaines est une survivance païenne. Le fait que la fontaine prenne le nom du Saint affirme la victoire du christianisme sur le culte païen. Dans les légendes locales, l'action des saints est présentée comme une "lutte victorieuse contre une bête malfaisante, généralement un dragon, animal qui symbolise le paganisme, ou plutôt, d'une manière plus précise, qui traduit le souvenir de la destruction d'un lieu de culte païen. Dans notre région, nous retrouvons ce fait à plusieurs reprises : Liphard intervint à Meung-sur-Loire, dans le Loiret (…)". (le culte des fontaines dans la France de l'Ouest et du Centre-Ouest. Pierre Audin in Annales de Bretagne et des pays de l'Ouest. Tome 87, n°4, 1980, p 687)
Saint Liphard (✝ 565) renouncing high loads, retired as a hermit to Magdunum at the age of 40 years. Liphard was a cousin of Clovis. Saint-Liphard and his disciple Urbice lived near the fountain and founded a monastery. The water of the fountain of Saint-Liphard is known to cure eye diseases. The cult of fountains is a pagan survival. The fact that the fountain take the name of the Holy says the victory of Christianity over the pagan worship. In the local legends, the action of the saints is presented as a "victorious struggle against an evil beast, usually a dragon, which symbolizes the animal paganism, or rather, more accurately, reflecting the memory of the destruction of . a place of pagan worship in our region, we find this fact repeatedly: Liphard intervened in Meung-sur-Loire, Loiret (...) ". (worship of fountains in France West and Central West. Pierre Audin in Annals of Britain and Western countries. Volume 87, No. 4, 1980, p 687) |
