This album presents just a fraction of the treasures from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette Church. The objects illustrate the history of the Huron-Wendat Nation and their evangelization by the Jesuits. Despite the nation’s relocation from Ancienne-Lorette to Wendake and the subsequent burning of the chapel, the objects have been preserved. Today, they form a cohesive whole that is rare. Most date back to the French Regime. Come and take a look at this rich collection presented in this album, prepared by the Musée Huron-Wendat in Wendake.
18th century (embroidery); 20th century (framing), possibly by Mother Marie Lemaire des Anges
White chasubles are worn by priests on the most solemn occasions. This chasuble’s embroidery was probably done by the Ursulines of Québec in the 18th century, but its assembly dates from the 20th century. The back is decorated with a large cross with the mystic lamb at its centre.
