A captivating image of a Breton pardon at Baud, a small town located in the Finistère department in the Brittany region of France, showcases the deep-rooted religious traditions and beliefs of the local community. The photograph, taken in 1925, depicts a large gathering of pilgrims at the Fontaine de la Clarte, a spring believed to possess healing properties for the eyes. The pardon, a traditional religious event in Brittany, is a time when people come together to seek forgiveness, healing, and blessings. The crowd in this photograph is a testament to the enduring faith of the Breton people, as they gather around the fontaine, hoping to be touched by its miraculous waters. The Fontaine de la Clarte, also known as the Clear Spring, is a popular destination for those suffering from various eye ailments. According to local legend, the waters of the spring have the power to protect and heal eyes, making it a must-visit site for pilgrims seeking relief from vision problems. The photograph captures the solemn and reverent atmosphere of the pardon, with pilgrims of all ages gathered around the fontaine, some with their eyes closed in prayer, others with their hands cupped to collect the waters. The clear, reflective surface of the spring adds to the serene and otherworldly quality of the scene. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted religious traditions of the Breton people, and serves as a reminder of the power of faith and the importance of community in times of need. The annual pardon at Baud continues to draw pilgrims from near and far, seeking the healing properties of the Fontaine de la Clarte and the spiritual renewal that comes with participating in this centuries-old tradition.
