Whore’s Chapel…

[pixelfan]

Known as the Little Shoemakers’ Chapel, even though it has nothing to do with this trade, this little chapel in the historical centre of Antwerp is almost unknown to tourists.
The chapel is bathed in an atmosphere of popular devotion: constantly candles are lit, the altar is always buried by flowers, ex-votos have been placed on the walls.
Although the official name of the chapel is the chapel of Our Lady’s Nativity or of Our Lady of Refuge, it is also known by the name of ‘Whore’s Chapel’… just because till the seventies quite a few prostitutes of the town centre came here to say their prayers… (I checked, they’re gone now 😉)
