Sant Bodmaël

Vallée des Saints.

Saint Bodmaël serait né en Bretagne au V ou VI ème siècle. Le nom viendrait du mot gaulois Bodd, signifiant « bonne volonté » et du celte « maël » qui signifie prince.
Originaire du pays de Galles ou de l'Irlande, il aurait établi un oratoire à l'île Maudez où l'on a retrouvé les fondations circulaires des cellules et les traces de la chapelle.

Je suppose que la torche symbolise la foi.


Saint Bodmaël was born in Brittany in the 5th or 6th century. The name comes from the Gaulish word Bodd, meaning «goodwill» and from the Celtic «maël» which means prince.
Originally from Wales or Ireland, he is said to have established an oratory on Maudez Island where the circular foundations of the cells and traces of the chapel were found.

I suppose the torch is the symbol of faith.
