We were in Roquebrun again today, it is really our favourite swimming spot on the Orb, and this time the church was open and we went in.
It has a rather nice statue of St. Roch in the church but this one we found in an exhibition of vestments and banners in the back of the church.
The banners were intended to be carried in processions.
It is very interesting as the figure of the saint is in fact a collage and stands in relief from the embroidered background.
The figure of the dog is also different as he is depicted with a human face.
This tallies with another picture of the saint I found in Pezenas (unfortunately at a moment without a camera) the figure proffering bread to the saint was an angel instead of the usual dog. The dog on this banner seemed to be a compromise between angelic and canine aid.
