Chapelle Solférino à Luz-Saint-Sauveur (65)
Au pied de la vallée de Luz se dresse la colline de Solferino avec à son sommet une chapelle et une stèle. Chaque année, vers la fin du mois de juin, une manifestation s'y déroule en souvenir de la bataille de Solférino et en hommage à la Croix-Rouge.
orgue Luz-Saint-Sauveur (F) - choral Mensch, willt du leben de D. BUXTEHUDE (1637 - 1707)
Luz-Saint-Sauveur est à la fois une station thermale située sur la route du col du Tourmalet (rendu célèbre par le Tour de France cycliste) et de sports d'hiver avec Luz Ardiden.
Très connu sous le second empire grâce à l'impératrice Eugénie, Luz-Saint-Sauveur ne manque pas de charme : le château Sainte Marie, la chapelle Solférino et l'église fortifiée dans laquelle nous trouvons un orgue d'esthétique baroque allemande construit par Yves Koenig en 2011.
Remerciements à Bernard Dhoudain.

Un souvenir de Solferino, Jean Henry Dunant. First Edition 1862. Peter Harrington Rare Books.
DUNANT, Jean Henry, Un souvenir de Solferino. Geneva: Jules-Guillaume Fick, 1862.
You can view this first edition of Un souvenir de Solferino on our website here:
Presented by Ian Smith, Rare Book Specialist at Peter Harrington Rare Books.
Tall octavo (270 x 172 mm). Contemporary red half cloth, gilt lettered spine, marbled sides, with the original drab brown wrappers bound in. Double-page coloured plan of the battle. Spine sunned, general light peripheral toning to letterpress. An excellent copy.
First edition. Presentation copy from the author, inscribed on a blank before the half-title: “Monsieur Albert Dunant de la part de l’auteur”, apparently in a secretarial hand. An excellent familial association: Albert Dunant was a state councillor for the canton of Geneva; this copy also carries his attractive etched bookplate and official autograph stamp on the half-title. One of 1,600 copies privately printed by Durant. “Dunant, a Swiss philanthropist, must have been aware of Florence Nightingale’s work in the Crimea, for it was what he read of the treatment of the sick and wounded in that war that drove him to the seat of the war in Italy between the French and the Austrians in 1859. He was present at the battle of Solferino, where the casualties were appalling, totalling nearly 40,000 on both sides. The treatment of the wounded was worse than callous: it was virtually non-existent. Dunant’s account of the state of affairs, disarmingly entitled A Souvenir of Solferino, produced almost immediate results. An unofficial international conference met in Geneva in October 1863, and in the following year the Swiss Government called for an official conference at which the Geneva Convention was drawn up and signed on 22 August 1864. This provided for the humane treatment of the sick and the wounded, and the proper treatment of prisoners of war and the civilian population. After hesitation on the part of some governments, including the British, and as the result of subsequent conferences, the Convention as it now stands was signed in 1906 by the governments of every civilized country in the world. Dunant was the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901” (PMM).

Built by Father Philip Ruh who was the most influential architect of Ukrainian Catholic churches in Western Canada.He combined the Byzantine church architecture of Ukraine with the architecture of the great western European cathedrals to build some 40 churches, mostly in Western Canada.
Construction of this church began at the worst time, in 1930, just as the Great Depression was starting. It took 22 years to complete and was built with all volunteer labor and parishioners' donations.
That included 20 boxcars filled with cement and thousands of tonnes of gravel and sand, all of it mixed by hand. Youths were trained to handle saws and levels; men dug the foundation ditches; women hauled rocks; children carried smaller stones, wrote David Butterfield and Maureen Devanik Butterfield in their book, If Walls Could Talk: Manitoba's Best Buildings Explored.
The church construction took on no debt and was built entirely with hand tools. Ruh forbade any power tools, even a cement mixer. It was nearer God that way. A pulley was the only modern machinery used, he told the Winnipeg Free Press at the consecration Sunday July 27, 1952. That opening service lasted five hours.
The grotto next door that Ruh patterned after the famous grotto in Lourdes. Grotto construction began in 1954. It was made with 23,110 bags of cement, 44 tonnes of steel, 6,592 yards of gravel. It wasn't completed until 1970 by the Knights of Columbus, eight years after Ruh died of cancer.
Walking about you notice something odd. You realize the church's exterior brickwork isn't brickwork at all. It's a concrete composite, dabbed with white spots and stenciled over with black lines to make it look like brickwork.This imitation is found inside the church, too. The marble isn't marble but a kind of feathered paintwork to make the wooden arches look like marble. The grotto is concrete that has been shaped to look like the natural stones in Lourdes.
There is at least one central dome on a Ukrainian church, representing Jesus Christ. There can be any number of smaller satellite domes around it. If it is accompanied by two domes, that forms the Holy Trinity; four extra satellite domes represent evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; seven domes in total represent the sacraments: baptism, confirmation, holy eucharist, penance, holy orders, marriage, and extreme unction (last rites).The artwork of the church was always to show some evidence of the kingdom of heaven, one priest explained.
Most church's floor plans are cruciform--shaped like a cross laid flat on the ground. The buildings have three chambers with the central chamber the largest and representing the cross piece. Inside the churches, the cross shape is outlined by red carpet that runs up the center aisle.Ruh was a self-taught architect a self-taught Ukrainian. He was born in 1883 in Alsace-Lorraine, then German territory and now in France. He always regarded himself as more German than French, and later in Canada changed his name from Roux to Ruh.
After he was ordained in 1910, the Roman Catholic Church assigned him to Ukraine. He adapted quickly to the Ukrainian language and culture, and remained in the Ukrainian church all his life. He came to Canada in 1913 and began missionary work in northern Alberta. There he began designing and building many small Ukrainian churches. He was also a builder and labourer on the churches, and there are many photos of him pushing a wheelbarrow.
Today, Ruh's grave site is memorialized with a special place of honor, surrounded by spruce trees, in the cemetery next to the Cook's Creek church. His right-hand men in church construction, master builders Mike Sawchuk and Michael Yanchynski, are buried beside him.
orgue Luz Saint Sauveur (F) - Toccata et fugue en sol mineur de J. SEGER (1716 - 1782)
Luz Saint Sauveur est un charmant village pyrénéen situé sur la route du col du Tourmalet, avant Barèges.
A la fois station thermale et de sports d'hiver, Luz Saint Sauveur comporte de nombreux attraits dont la chapelle Solférino,
le château Sainte Marie et le pont Napoléon.
En effet, sous le second empire l'impératrice Eugénie venait à
Luz Saint Sauveur pour prendre les eaux
(aujourd'hui il faut dire pour une cure thermale).
L'église fortifiée date du XIVe siècle, elle est appelée
église des Templiers.
A l'intérieur se trouve un orgue d'esthétique baroque allemande construit en 2011 par Yves Koenig de Sarre-Union (Alsace).
Il comporte 14 jeux sur deux claviers et pédalier.
