The church of Saint-Séverin has a religious significance among the adherents both in the ancient and modern times. Besides being a worship center and a commemoration of Séverin the Hermit, the church represents the Catholic faith. The religious aspects of the Catholic Church and some of their fundamental beliefs are depicted in the construction of the church. For example, the newly installed modern glass windows are inspired by the seven sacraments, a sculpture of St. Martin of Tours which symbolizes the protector of tours to whom people depended on for their success in voyages.
