Saint-Didier-en-Velay (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ didje ɑ̃ vəlɛ/, literally Saint-Didier in Velay; Occitan (post 1500);: Sant Desdèir de La Seuva) is a commune in the Haute-Loire department in south-central France.[2]
In the church of Saint Didier, there is an impressive Spanish Baroque painting of Mary Magdalene which has been attributed to Murillo or Zurbarán.[3] It is most likely a 17th century copy of a painting by Murillo.[4]
