%X The Saints of the personal pantheon of Maurice Barrès, notably Joan of Arc, Saint Bernadette and the Sibyl of Auxerre, are important in his religious vision: they represent naivety and force, they also represent the link between the visible world and the Invisible world, between the primordial world and the Christian world. Time and space seem transparent for the Saints of Barrès: the past and the present unite in them, the pagan space and the Christian space open for them. The author tries to mix the two spaces in one, so that the forces of the different worlds form a new power, which is stronger than ever before. His writings on these feminine figures show one of the main axes of his religious thought: the coexistence of two spiritual powers.
