Fontaine, St Nicolas du Pelem, Bretagne, France - Natural Springs on Waymarking.com

Cette fontaine située en contre bas de l'église de St Nicolas du Pelem daterait du XVIIè siècle.

"Selon la légende St-Nicolas, s'étant installé dans une auberge pour s'y restaurer, découvrit dans un saloir, les restes de trois enfants que l'aubergiste avait assassinés et que le Saint ressuscita. C'est pourquoi Saint-Nicolas est le plus souvent représenté, dans une niche, avec ses trois protégés à ses pieds sortant d'un tonneau. Un Christ en croix qui figurait à l'origine au dessus du deuxième bassin est actuellement scellé dans un mur proche." (visit link)
