Les Festivites de la Sainte Devote

Le jeudi soir, Leur Altesse Sérénissime le Prince Albert II et son épouse la Princesse Charlène ont blasonné le bateau annuel de Sainte-Dévote, comme la tradition l'exige.

Tous les 27 janvier, les Monégasques célèbrent leur saint patron, Devote. Et chaque année, les cérémonies commencent la veille, en présence du prince souverain. Ce jeudi 26 janvier, à la tombée de la nuit, le prince Albert II, accompagné de sa femme, la princesse Charlène, était sur le quai Albert Ier.

Le couple princier signa l'acte le plus spectaculaire de cette fête religieuse: le brûlage du bateau de Sainte-Dévote. Celui-ci rappelle le bateau frêle qui aurait fondé, vers l'an 304, sur la rive de Monaco un 27 janvier. A l'intérieur était le corps d'un jeune saint-Devote qui avait été martyrisé à Lucciana en Corse.

Armé d'une torche, Albert II et Charlène de Monaco - qui vient de fêter ses 39 ans - ont mis le feu au bateau symbolique, après la procession des reliques du saint, suivie de la Salutation du Très Saint Sacrement dans l'église de Sainte -Consacrer. Toujours trop petites pour participer à une telle cérémonie religieuse, leurs jumeaux adorables, deux ans, le prince héréditaire Jacques et la princesse Gabriella n'étaient pas présents

Saint Devote's Festivities

On Thursday evening, Their Serene Highness Prince Albert II and his wife Princess Charlène emblazoned the annual Sainte-Dévote's boat, as tradition demands.

Every January 27th the Monegasques celebrate their patron saint, Devote. And every year, the ceremonies begin the evening before, in the presence of the sovereign prince. This Thursday, January 26, at nightfall, Prince Albert II, accompanied by his wife Princess Charlene, was on the Albert I quay.

The princely couple signed the most spectacular act of this religious feast: the burning of the boat of Sainte-Dévote. This one recalls the frail boat that would have grounded, towards the year 304, on the shore of Monaco one January 27th. Inside was the body of a young saint-Devote- who had been martyred at Lucciana in Corsica.

Armed with a torch, Albert II and Charlène of Monaco - who just celebrated her 39th birthday - set fire to the symbolic boat, after the procession of the relics of the saint, followed by the Salute Of the Most Holy Sacrament in the church of Sainte-Dévote. Still too small to participate in such a religious ceremony, their adorable twins, two year old Hereditary prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were not present

The Spanish won the "Cup of HSH the Sovereign Prince" after winning the final of the tournament against Gael Monfils 7-5, 5-7, 6-0. The Prince and Princess of Monaco attended the final, extremely intense for two sets, since the boxes of the Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.

This ninth title in the Principality, the 68th of his career in his 100th final, Nadal certainly hoped eagerly. Since Roland Garros 2014, he had not won important tournaments, Grand Slam or Masters 1000. We wondered if he would return one day the king of clay, who had reigned in Monte Carlo from 2005 to 2012.
