Every once in awhile during my city escapes, I step into a cathedral for many reasons. Beyond the obvious grandeur, intricacy, and acoustics that surround me, the reverence I feel within one is a stark, humbling, and important reminder.
A reminder that the life I live – the lives we live – are meant for bigger purposes than we use them for and that they are precious gifts to be used for good.
Over 700 years old, St. Petri Dom in Bremen stands as this reminder.
While I gather and sort through photos and notes to bring you more, I’ll be sharing some quick postcards from my time exploring the city as part of the#JoinGermanTradition campaign.
When I was visiting Worms, Germany there was an old church there and you could still see the bullet holes in the outside of the church from WWII. After going inside what intrigued me the most was the sense of history, the weight of it all and of all who came before me. It was quite overwhelming at times but absolutely fascinating.
I definitely hear you. It feels like they just don’t build them the way they used to anymore. So intricate.
