Église Epiphanie du Seigneur de Nianing. Remini

Église Epiphanie du Seigneur de Nianing.

Reminiscent of a shell, due to the village’s proximity to the sea. Funded by Patrick Thélot of the Sofinord Group, a French holding company. The architect is Nicolas Vernoux of IN SITU Architecture.

To provide protection from the effect of the hot and dry coastal wind, the Harmattan, the church has a south-easterly alignment rather than the traditional alignment towards the east of Christian churches. The alignment of Christian churches is a continuation of the Jewish custom of praying towards the Temple in Jerusalem, the belief that the garden of Eden was in the east and the scriptural belief that the Messiah would come from the east.
