THE CULTURE ASPECT

The culture take an important place into the military base, you can find a Chapel in the center of it, welcoming by the chaplain Marie-Armande Mkojera.The chaptainly is used to moraly assist soldiers.In this chapel we were focused on an huge paint.

It was painted on wood in 1960 by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle¸ with brand new colour paints.

Currently the coulor stay powerful.

Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, painted this 7.4 metres by 3.5 metres size paint during the first year of his military service to Baden-Baden in Deutschland.

The paint has been transfered to the BA-105 in 1968.

The funny thing is that the chapel were build around the paint, because of his size.

This paint present the Cruscification of Jesus, with Maria.

Inclued a lot of Saint like Saint Sebastien, boss of archers, or Saint François d’Assise the boss of the legions, and the two luminary angels Michel, the parachutist angel, and Gabriel angel, the transmitter angel.

But I’ll let you discovered all the paint by yourself. With a patient observation to see all the details that I omit on purpose.

You understand that this paint is full of symbolisms.
