Cologne, Germany(2019)
The Cathedral of St Peter

Index - Europe
October 2019

This was our 4th trip to Cologne
Each time we discover something new

This is the largest Gothic Church

in Northern Europe


We were not permitted to walk across
the plaza because an orchestra
was rehearsing in the hall below

The mosaic floors depict scenes of medieval history



According to legend St Christopher

carried a child across a dangerous river

The child was Jesus

 
According to legend this reliquary contains the relics of the Magi
