These days, you’d be hard pressed to find a piece of furniture as impressive as the tabernacle on the high altar of Sainte-Famille church.
Considered one of Quebec’s masterpieces of early sculpture, this imposing piece dating from 1745 is a sight to behold: two tiers, four statues of evangelists, relics of four saints, six candlesticks, a baldachin, a monstrance, ornaments, a crucifix… And, underneath, a tomb, this one dating from 1801.
It’s hard to imagine what their creators, names like Bolvin and Quévillon, could be doing today!
