Summary/Abstract: In Breton lais, we regard a brilliant marriage of Celtic and Christian « marvel » (merveilleux), which is revealed on various semiotic levels. The zones of sacrum and profanum interpenetrate and provoke the reader’s afterthoughts on abundant and profound imagery. In Yonec of Marie de France, at the moment when the coming from Autre Monde protagonist is receiving the Eucharist he represents with his beloved one body. In this paper, I have a try to arrive at a spiritual meaning/message underlying the text characters-symbols. The clue to this analysis is the idea of transition: from one status to another, from one figure to another, or from one meaning to another.
