I wasn't going to post anything, but it is the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, the Mother of God. I found this video and realized that I have been to this church. My nephew lived in this town in Bavaria and I visited Amberg twice.
This church is high on a hill over Amberg, a lovely walled 15th century town. In addition to the baroque church (so not my thing, but whatever) the hilltop sports a very nice biergarten!
Anyway, enjoy the music and for those who share this love of Mary, know that this is a special day.
There Will Be Bread... When we gather around the table and break bread together, we are transformed not only individually but also as community. We, people from different ages and races, with different backgrounds and histories, become one body." -Henri Nouwen
Beautifully sung!

Bavarian churches are beautiful and I also enjoy sitting in biergartens, perhaps I should put Amberg on my next visit list. Strangely I rarely drink beer at home but love German beer.
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteLovely. Thanks for this, Fran. I'm late, but you know what they say.
ReplyDeleteI say, "It's a girl!"
Baroque churches are so not my thing either, but this is a lovely example of one. Nicely sung chant too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must ask once again, is there anyplace you have not been and have a story about?
Thanks, Fran.
ReplyDeleteThis was so nice to find this morning.
