Savigny - Notre-Dame

A priory of the Abbey Sainte-Barbe en Auge (100 kms east) existed nearby since 1107. "Notre Dame" (co-dedicated to "Sainte Barbe") was given to the priory in 1165. An inscription in the apse tells, that the church was consecrated in 1128.

The choir and apse, constructed during the Romanesque period, still exist pretty complete. Under the roof are numerous interesting corbels.

Here is - maybe - the Eucharistic liturgy, the celebration of the Holy Mass. The two priests hold up the bread and the wine over the small altar.
