Soulosse-sous-Saint-Élophe - Saint-Élophe
Soulosse-sous-Saint-Élophe (pop. ~650) was formed out of four hamlets. The two larger ones were Soulosse und Saint-Élophe.
The church, dedicated to Saint-Élophe was built in the 13th and 15th centuries and so there is a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles.
Legends tell, that Saint Élophe (aka "Eliphius of Rampillon") preached the bible in the area and was martyred and beheaded on the spot.
After his death in 363, he got up and went with his head in his hands to his burial site - the place, where the church is now. So he became a member of the large group of "kephalophores", who all carried away their own head after the death. Other members of the group are Saint Denis, Saint Sever, Saint Gohard, Saint Miniato.
The tomb effigy of St. Elophe. Carved at the end of the 16th century.
There is a small mysterium here. During the summer solstice (21.06) it can be observed. that the sun passing through a stained glass window projects colours that move all along the statue until the neck is lit red and the face a pale green.
