Brigitte Bardot’s funeral will be held on January 7 in Saint-Tropez and, for the occasion, a religious ceremony will be broadcast on screens. But the late actress had a special relationship with religion.
Brigitte Bardot has never kept her tongue in her pocket, whatever the subject and this has even earned her some legal convictions. If she spoke more readily about animals, the late film star did not evade any question during her life. Even when it came to religion.
Brigitte Bardot had a chapel on her estate
In his book Battle Tearspublished in 2018, Brigitte Bardot devoted a few pages to her beliefs. The star of the film Contempt then wrote: “I keep my distance from the idea of religion and its hierarchy (…) I have never felt comfortable with the idea of religion. I prefer a free spirituality, a direct relationship with Heaven. I have read the Bible very little, all these texts bore me. (…) it is the spirit which animates me, what it tends towards. The rest, the laws, the counsels and the confessions of men, I sit on.” This had the merit of being clear, in his image…
But BB loved it though”holy places because they are beautiful“and had love for the Blessed Virgin.”This faith is so nourished that we have a very close bond, she and I. It came little by little (…) I speak to him directly, without bla-bla, sometimes I don’t even say a single word: I speak to him from the heart“, added the late actress.
Furthermore, the one who had received a religious education – “I made my first communion, I went to catechism and to the nuns” – had even built a small chapel in La Garrigue, her second home in Saint-Tropez when she wanted to escape La Madrague. But she rarely went there because of the stony path, “a real way of the cross“for the one who needed her”small crutches” to walk.
What will Brigitte Bardot’s funeral look like?
The star’s funeral will begin at 11:00 a.m. with a religious ceremony at the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church, in Saint-Tropez. And only people with an invitation will be allowed to attend, such as… Marine Le Pen.
However, for locals and Bardot fans, a retransmission is planned on screens which will be installed on the port and on the central Place des Lices. His Foundation also announced that the burial of his body would be private, only for the family. Will her son Nicolas come from Norway with his children to say goodbye and support the star’s last husband, Bernard d’Ormale?
