    Aleksandria, why do you refer to this as a crypt? Are services held here? ~ Bernadette

  • The Crypt Fourvière is below FourviereBasilica.

    The door between the two lions sit on the place Fourviere. Basilica opens onto a staircase that goes into the depths of the hill to an immense hall, Church in the Church.

    To the Christians of Lyon but also for all Lyon, Fourvière is a place of protection, remedies, prayer, conversion. Every year, pilgrims come to venerate the Black Madonna in the Lady Chapel.

    The various Catholic communities in the city are also found in the crypt around their “Virgin” (Madonna of Czestochowa, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Gyor, Virgin Velankani).
