Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

Before leaving the Province of Quebec we visited its capital – Quebec City, which is the only city in North America that has the entire wall that surrounded the original city.  It has a population of 700,000 people, 98% of whom are Catholic and speak French.  This province has been trying to gather enough votes to become independent of Canada.  With each vote they get a little closer.  Their current Prime Minister is Pauline Marois.

Canons that protected the walled city.

President Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill

 met here at Le Chateau Frontenac to make plans for the invasion at Normandy.

Notre Dame des Victoires

I thought some of you Catholics might enjoy an example of the Stations of the Cross

 in this quaint old church.

Jesus the Christ lying in death beneath the alter 

 for those wishing to light candles and say prayers.

I had never seen this before so thought it might be new to you also.
