	Chronicles

	Over the past few centuries, a multitude of religious beliefs, rituals and practices filled the daily lives of Quebecers. All we have to do is think of saying the rosary as a family, the feast of Corpus Christi or Mary’s month and we are plunged into the world of the popular devotions of our ancestors. These devotions influenced, even defined, a part of our culture. Come along with us in this new series of chronicles. We will trace the history of several, occasionally forgotten, aspects of the religious heritage of Quebec. Popular feasts, processions and annual pilgrimages. These are just some of the ways to earn one’s way to heaven! To learn more about this subject, we invite you to visit the temporary exhibit Between Heaven and Hell. This exhibit will be displayed at Maison Saint-Gabriel from May 16, 2004 to December 19, 2004.
