Comments

The pardon of Notre-Dame de la Clarté in Perros-Guirec corresponds chronologically to two concomitant realities of the 15th century: the construction of the chapel and the establishment, as throughout Brittany, of a religious ceremony commonly known as "pardon". From the 15th century onwards, Breton nobility began building churches. Pilgrims gathered in droves to be forgiven for their sins. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapelle_Notre-Dame-de-la-Clart%C3%A9_de_Perros-Guirec

Le pardon de Notre-Dame de la Clarté en Perros-Guirec correspond chronologiquement à deux réalités concomitantes du XVe siècle : la construction de la chapelle et l'instauration, comme dans toute la Bretagne, d'une cérémonie religieuse appelée communément «pardon». En effet, à partir du XVe siècle, la noblesse bretonne construit des églises. Les pèlerins se réunissent alors en foule pour obtenir le pardon de leurs péchés. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapelle_Notre-Dame-de-la-Clart%C3%A9_de_Perros-Guirec
