Ile-aux-Coudres, Canada- St Bernard's Church, Masseloutte Painting First Mass

Description: Ile-aux-Coudres, Canada- St Bernard's Church, Masseloutte Painting First Mass in Canada: L'Isle-aux-Coudres is a municipality in Quebec, Canada, in the Charlevoix Regional County Municipality in the Charlevoix area of the Capitale-Nationale region. It is located on and contiguous with Coudres Island (Île aux Coudres), located in the St. Lawrence River about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south from the mainland. The island was named by Jacques Cartier during his second expedition in 1535 for the many nut-bearing trees on the island. "Coudriers" is the archaic French word for Hazel tree. Whereas the modern French spelling for "island" is île, the municipality uses the old French spelling of Isle. Its population centers include La Baleine in the north-east, (Saint-Louis-de-) l'Isle-aux-Coudres in the south, and Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer in the north-west facing Baie-Saint-Paul. A free ferry service connects Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer to Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive on the north shore of the gulf. The community of Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer, first known as Pointe-des-Roches until 1936, only really developed from 1902 onward. The Parish of Saint-Bernard, named in honour of Bernard of Clairvaux (ca. 1090-1153), was officially founded in 1934 when it separated from the Parish of Saint-Louis, and was incorporated as the Municipality of Saint-Bernard-de-l'Île-aux-Coudres in 1936. The card's reverse informs "The painting of a scene of September 7th, 1535 dominates the main-altar of St. Bernard's Church (Ile-aux-Coudres) and is the work of Antonio Masseloutte of Quebec." The card is in good condition, but shows some edge wear and has a crease in its lower left-hand corner. No.22012.
