« The Reygades Mystery »

Reygades marks the transition point between the High Quercy and the Xaintrie.

The chapel of the old cemetery contains the leading masterpiece of Limousin statuary, which consists of a 15th century polychrome stone carving.

This anonymous masterpiece shows some similarities with the work of Carennac in the High Quercy.

The scene illustrates one of the Gospel stories:- watched by St Mary and St Mary Magdalene, Joseph of Arimethea and Nicodemus prepare to enroble the body of Jesus in a winding sheet before burying him.

Mise au Tombeau
 

The Commune of Reygades has sought to give life to this masterpiece with a “Son and Lumiere” spectacular, created by Jean-Claude and Christine Monnier. This couple, in love with the Xaintrie, have written and created this show which consists of around 200 sequences. Narrated by the famous actor Jean Piat, and with music composted by Jack Labrunie, this “Son et LumiPre” shows off the beauty of the sculpture.

The spectacle is shown continuously in the little chapel of the old cemetery, from 9am to 10pm (9am to 6pm out of season) throughout the year. A excellent opportunity to discover the riches of our local heritage.
