The Virgin Mary, St Dominic & a Couple of Naughty Cherubs
Church of Notre-Dame de Bordeaux的点评
点评：Apart from the cathedral Saint-André, the 17th century Notre Dame is the next most interesting church in Bordeaux. Its right in the heart of old Bordeaux, in what is known as ‘the Golden Triangle’.
It is worth noting that some guidebooks or tourist websites also refer to it as ‘the Church of Our Lady, Bordeaux’.
It has a beautifully ornate Baroque facade, full of swirls, scrolls, statues of saints, and small spires. Tall columns and Corinthian pilasters give a sense of height and grandeur.
The church was built by the Dominicans, who already had a large monastery here.
A large panel over the main entrance shows the Virgin Mary giving a set of rosary beads to St Dominic. According to belief, she appeared to St Dominic in 1208 when he was having trouble drawing on his faith to preach. She introduced him to the practice of praying the rosary. For centuries afterwards, the Dominicans encouraged people to also pray, using rosary beads, making the practice widespread.
Mary is surrounded by ten or more cherub angels hovering around her feet and shoulders. One has gone rogue and is tipping out a basket of flowers or fruit right above St Dominics head. He looks like a naughty cherub, tipping out his toy basket. St Dominic, unaware of what is about to land on his head, gazes up adoringly at Mary. Two other angels look as if they are dancing and playing a clapping game. Curiously, Mary appears to be using two little cherubs as a foot stool.
The 4 ‘Doctors of the Church’ stand either side of the plaque. These are full-length statues of St Ambrose, St Gregory, St Jerome and St Augustine.
NOTE:
Entry is free and it is open every day but unfortunately it was closed when we passed by so we didn’t get to see inside (we walked by at the very end of our day so we must have just missed it).

翻译：除了圣安德烈大教堂，17 世纪的圣母院是波尔多第二有趣的教堂。它位于老波尔多的中心地带，即所谓的“金三角”。
值得注意的是，一些旅游指南或旅游网站也将其称为“波尔多圣母教堂”。
它有一个华丽的巴洛克风格外观，充满了漩涡、卷轴、圣人雕像和小尖塔。高大的柱子和科林斯式壁柱给人一种高大和宏伟的感觉。
这座教堂是由多米尼加人建造的，他们在这里已经有一座大修道院。
主入口上方的一块大面板上画着圣母玛利亚将一串念珠交给圣多米尼克。根据传说，1208 年，当圣多米尼克难以依靠信仰传教时，她出现在他面前。她向他介绍了念诵玫瑰经的做法。此后几个世纪，多米尼加人鼓励人们也用念珠祈祷，使这一习俗广为流传。
十多个小天使围绕着玛丽，他们盘旋在她的脚和肩膀周围。其中一个天使已经叛逆了，正把一篮鲜花或水果倒在圣多米尼克的头上。他看起来像一个淘气的小天使，把他的玩具篮倒了出来。圣多米尼克不知道什么东西即将落在他头上，只好崇拜地仰望着玛丽。另外两个天使看起来好像在跳舞和玩拍手游戏。奇怪的是，玛丽似乎把两个小天使当作脚凳。
4 位“教会博士”站在牌匾的两侧。这些是圣安布罗斯、圣格雷戈里、圣杰罗姆和圣奥古斯丁的全身雕像。
注意：入场免费，每天开放，但不幸的是，我们经过时它已经关闭，所以我们没能进去看看（我们是在一天快结束时经过的，所以我们一定是错过了）。
