The town of Conques, where we're staying for three nights, has a famous church - the Abbey Church of Sainte-Foy de Conques - which is on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostella, because it holds the reliquary of Sainte Foy. On the evening of October 6 the reliquary was supposed to be paraded through the town by candlelight, but rain delayed the parade. However, there was a moving candlelight ceremony inside the church, of which I caught a couple of photos.
