It's really lovely and has very nice people too. Pax vobis. <br /><br />@Sally, What an incredible church. I wonder if there are any trains from Versailles to Marburg? Thank you for sharing the link. I haven't been to Germany in awhile - time for a visit, I think.Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-27690939577957323852013-05-21T23:06:53.727+02:002013-05-21T23:06:53.727+02:00For more on Sainte Elisatbeth (Heilige Elisabeth) ...For more on Sainte Elisatbeth (Heilige Elisabeth) , you have to come to Germany. <br />She spent most of her life at the Wartburg in Eisenach. She went there to live at age 4, when she was betrothed to the landgrave.<br /><br />But closest to my heart is the pilgramage church Elisabethkirche in Marburg, built at her grave shortly after she was canonized. It is the first Gothic church built in Germany.<br />The video here (http://www.elisabethkirche.de/The-Elizabeth-Church.405+M52087573ab0.0.html) is narrated in German, but gives a nice overview of the church, including the artwork depicting her life and good works (including the story of the roses and leper turned to Christ in the marriage bed.)Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-55874058598059408782013-05-18T21:09:36.923+02:002013-05-18T21:09:36.923+02:00Thank you oh thank you, beautiful †

We have a similiar Mary statue in our sister church which has just been restored, and now her Mary blue dress has a gold leaf print. On the day the children laid flowers at her feet, we re-crowned her with her golden crown.
