The work describes public celebrations with which the French regime followed signifi cant internal and international events. Public manifestations introduced the Monarchy’s ideology and the symbolics of the French administration in the region which emphasized the cult of the Napoleon, the strength of the French army and the glory of the famous generals. The purpose of these manifestations was to expand the basis of the regime, and to reach the conservative masses which identifi ed the regime with the Jacobean era and its terror. These indoctrination efforts used especially the infl uence of the Catholic Church which remained reserved towards the regime regardless of its formal support.
