The best walks and hikes around Trondes

For the meditative contemplation of the faithful during the prayer of the Rosary, there are several text variants. According to ancient tradition, the Church knows three versions – referred to as "Mysteries" (from the Greek "Mysterion", which in theology means the revelation of something that would not be accessible to us humans without God's help"): the 'Joyful Mysteries' / the 'Sorrowful Mysteries' / the 'Glorious Mysteries'. His Holiness Pope John Paul II supplemented them in October 2002 with the Apostolic Letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae" by adding the 'Luminous Mysteries'. Furthermore, it is not at all uncommon for a Rosary devotion in various parishes or groups to be expanded with formulations. A special variant, which I once found on a prayer sheet and would like to present here, is the "Peace Rosary", in which the five mysteries are as follows: + Jesus, at whose birth angels announced peace (cf. Lk 2:8-14) + Jesus, who directs our steps on the path of peace (cf. Lk 1:67-79) + Jesus, who has blessed those who peacemake (cf. Mt 5:3-12a) + Jesus, who sent his disciples to bring peace (cf. Mt 10:7-13) + Jesus, who has left us his peace (cf. Jn 14:23-27)

Simple, very well maintained walk.

The railway no longer exists, the locomotives have been distributed throughout the region, and the rails are being dismantled.

This is where hemp fiber was once extracted by soaking the plants in ponds. A few information panels provide more information on this craft as well as the flora and fauna that have since settled there. Overall, this is a well-designed and informative site.

The final plan for the construction of this church took shape in 1895 under the leadership of Mr. LOEVENBRUCK, the new parish priest. The location was chosen so as to be included in the whole: old church, presbytery, grotto and Rosary chapel while opening onto the main street of the village. The style chosen was that of the Gothic radiant from the churches of the Middle Ages and recalls in particular the Saint Étienne cathedral and the Saint Gengoult collegiate church of Toul. https://www.bruley.mairie54.fr/fr/l-eglise-neo-gothique.html

The cult of the Virgin is ancient in Lorraine, particularly on the Hill of Sion. The apparitions of Lourdes after those of La Salette mark the souls of a very Christianized population in the countryside. Pilgrimages to Lourdes gained momentum in the 1880s. In 1883, there were 1,600 pilgrims from Lorraine. The momentum was given. The idea naturally came to evoke or reproduce the Massabielle cave. https://www.bruley.mairie54.fr/fr/la-replique-de-la-grotte-de-lourdes.html

Originally, it was a small defense post built to occupy the northern end of the Écrouves plateau and only included a small barracks. Later the building was expanded.

The general plan of the Rosary Chapel is reminiscent of the Rosary Basilica in Lourdes. It was built from 1892 to 1894 to the plans of the architect Jacquemin at the initiative of Canon Demange and then his brother. The chapel has three alveoli for the three mysteries: joyful mystery, painful mystery, glorious mystery. Each cell has five windows and five tables. The entire esplanade and the Rosary chapel were listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments in July 2005. https://www.bruley.mairie54.fr/fr/la-chapelle-du-rosaire.html
