Saint Éloi

Saint Éloi

I noticed a small shrine high above the ground; St Éloi (also known as Saint Eligius) is the patron saint of metalworkers.

im not a very religious person but it does make me somewhat sad to see religious things like this treated with disrespect and carelessness

There are light bulbs there. my guess is there was a stained glass window that was backlit by the bulbs... probably looked really pretty compared to the barren bleakness of the rest of the complex
