Cologne Cathedral Capriccio

Many people know the Cologne Cathedral, but have the opportunity to talk to him face to face with people far more people to know him. However, I was lucky, on 8 May 2004, I have so few hours — although just for a few hours.

For me, to talk, rather than listening to teachings.

I as a devout believers, not miles, just to listen to it more real.

Before, I have numerous times on television from the photos and read this, Germany's most magnificent Church, but have been thinking that one day I saw it, it will be a feeling? today, I broke the stand before him and suddenly the mind blank ...

I think, probably 700 years of accumulation Flash my mind on that point from books to read on his pale tells rush vanished. Heart suddenly heavy breath.

700 years, yet so good, so his ancient majestic!, young; he was energetic,.

He was born last 600 years.

From 1248 years commenced until 1880, this intermediate experience a lot of frustrations. 1560 year project is due to the reformation and the stoppage of work, but if not Germany cultural rise of romanticism and people found a 13th century cathedral of original design, after reconstruction of the Cathedral may never become today.

This combination of skilled artisans 600 years of painstaking monster, his every stone, every statue, the blend is so perfect harmony, reminding one, unified whole.

It was so smart, and straight spines sky is shuangta, of soul ascended to heaven.

Just think, I approached, want to touch his dark skin.

I know he wants to tell 700 years of ups and downs, but I was too small to hold the 700 years of the weight of cultural heritage. So, I can only stare long, hopefully from his dark skin read something.

Suddenly, I saw some of the AU in small pits.

So, is this the crater was World War II and the British beauty? the bombs to bomb the crater after leaving?! if it is, that not only is his scars, is his strong without proof. I have seen pictures of Cologne in 1945, the Church has become around the ruins, but his standing motionless! it is said that touch the top of the bomb is because Vista is almost a straight straight down and slide down to the ground exploded, but the cornerstone of the Church is a two-meter-high boulders and, therefore, not hurt you nothing. Thought here, I cannot help but also looked into the crater, they are like people face of senile plaques, engraved the paragraph has enable European white-knuckle history.

Then, I went into this Cathedral, found inside the same craftsmanship of all.

Each statue, every piece of window glass were tells its own story, but unfortunately, my time is running out, not listening. Finally, I found the Church of the most precious jewels – dedicated to three King remains to gold shrine. It is the 12 century the famous Goldsmith Nicola · Feng · Verdun nearly gave life, positive relief was engraved with three dynasty worship our Lady of El Niño. It is the magnificent, splendid medieval Goldsmith art peak. Before it, the rows of religious are their most Holy soul prayer.

Suddenly, haven't got Tower.

Climbing 509 steps to the East the roof level, I disregard their own breath, greedily down looking at the city of Cologne. Yet more attractive to me is that visitors are here to stay for the various text. blocky It is their most sincerely wish Ah. Their existence, the Church is no longer so solemn, and close to many people. I think this is the God of one way. Had it not been for them, it would become very pale, because God bridges cut off, people even shouting, and God heard nor will remember.

From the towers came down, I'm happy, but can't bear to leave.

Suddenly, the church bells rang, wake me, perhaps to go now.

2004.
