Lungu reopens after restoration the most famous church in Algeria. A sign of connection between the North and South in the sign of dialogue. Visit of 2005. Let us look to the property
the Admiralty and Marine Ramparts, let the squares of all ages populated urban and say that human warmth and joy of being there, the climb to the hill shrine of all Algerians - Christians and Muslims - is a catharsis of blue and white, yet. Notre-Dame d'Afrique is, that's all. Is there a Catholic bishop because he wanted back in 1858, following two pious women who regretted the basilica Lyon Fourvière. Certainly. But there is why Mary-Mariam is the common trait of the two faiths professed here, perhaps even more popular among Muslims by Christians. Bella the basilica is not, it is not their own. But he is dressed in damask and crowned by a hand kabyle written from golden charming and astonishing " Notre-Dame d'Afrique and Prie pour nous pour les musulmans " Our Signotra Africa, pray for us and for Muslims. I want to photograph the inscription from the gallery that houses the organ. I climb a narrow spiral staircase that seems to Africa also in color, and so is lisa dirty. But there, among the stale air that smells of candles burning, humidity and salty, written built by Msgr. Pavy seems a prophecy. It will be the woman to join the two faiths in the common prayer and common desire to unite beyond any logical division. Africa there is a will, on this hill, not only for the presence of Algerians, but also that of many sub-Saharan Africans who are studying or working in these parts. The view is breathtaking, as Nostra Signora della Guardia in Genoa, as Notre-Dame des PECHEURS in Marseille, as the home of Mary in Ephesus ... Mary-Mariam watches over all her children.
