Village de Nassogne

On entend parler de Nassogne depuis l'an 600 et le village devrait son nom à une petite fontaine appelée "Nassonia". A cette époque, un moine écossais du nom de Monon vint évangéliser la région. L'histoire raconte que le missionnaire fut frappé à mort entre 630 et 645. Vers 687, Pépin de Herstal, dit le Bref, rehaussa l'église, où le tombeau du moine écossais attirait la vénération de pélerins, en y fondant financièrement un chapitre de chanoines, l'église devenant alors collégiale.

The Saint-Monon collegial church

The Saint-Monon collegiate church, its ancient churchyard and picturesque lane of linden trees planted in 1803, have all been listed by the Royal Commission for Sites and Monuments. The church underwent restoration works in 1948-49 and, according to the chronogram above the entrance porch, the current building dates from 1661. The choir and the apse are built in typical 7th century Romanesque styleand the church nave was rebuilt in 1661.An educational board near the church entrance tells the story of the Holy Monon, a Scottish Monk whocame to Nassogne to evangelize our ancestors around 600. Inside the church, you can admirethe reliquary which contains the holy relics. Saint Monon is the Patron Saint of farmers who invokehis protection for their cattle and their crops. Each year (on the Sunday following Ascension), the reliquary is taken from the collegial church to the Saint-Monon chapel, during the procession that is locally known as the Procession des Remuages (i.e. ‘the riddling procession’). During the procession, the pilgrims, for the vast majority farmers, rub the shrine with handfuls of grass or shrub branches. The blessed crops are then fed to their livestock, in the hope that this will protectthem from harm until the following year.
