À propos du livre
This book documents, pictorially, the Basilica of our Lady of Peace (Basilique Notre Dame de la Paix) Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire) in West Africa. This is the largest Catholic Church in the world and a minor Basilica of the Catholic Church built of marble.
There are several unique features of this Basilica captured by the photographs in this book. These include the tallest dome in the world, curved pews made of pure African Iroko wood, each pew has its own air conditioner ventilation, seating room for 7,000 worshipers with additional room for 11, 000 standing, the sculpture of the 'Notre Dame De Tout Le Monde', plenty of pillars and columns of various designs, large amount of stained glass doors and windows, the magnificent high altar and its canopy, the massive garden on the grounds of the Basilica patterned on the garden of Versailles, France, etc.
All these and more have been captured in this book. These photographs were taken over two days and effort has been made to choose representative photographs of the unique features of the basilica. Hopefully, these photos will encourage you to learn more about this magnificent edifice and perhaps prompt you to make a pilgrimage to Yamoussoukro Ivory Coast in West Africa.
It is important that this edifice be maintained in pristine condition for future generations to enjoy. Individual contributions in cash or kind should be encouraged. The more people visit this holy site, the more the goals for building it, in the first place, be realized. We each have to do our part to keep the spirit of 'Our lady of Peace' and "Notre Dame De Tout Le Monde" alive.
