Bridge over troubled water - a photo on Flickriver

            This is the “Pont Saint-Lambert” in Vresse-sur-Semois (Wallonia, Belgium)
Its origins lie hidden in the darkness of time. This bridge has given rise to a very curious but nonetheless sympathetic legend. At the time of the Christianization of the region, Saint Lambert (638-705) was spreading his faith in Vresse while the female missionary Agatha was doing so in Laforêt, on the other side of the river. Saint Lambert, jealous of his neighbor, had the idea of prohibiting his rival from accessing his village. At that time, the propagation of the faith was not necessarily shared! Saint Lambert always traveled on foot or on horseback, but Agatha only traveled by cart drawn by horses. So, Saint Lambert had a bridge built so narrow that his female colleague and competitor was unable to come and preach in his territory.
