The Beautiful Cathedral in Passau

This is the St. Stephan's Cathedral, called as "Dom St. Stephan" in German located in Passau, a city in Bavaria, Germany. This is so far one of the most beautiful cathedral I visited in this country. It has a baroque architecture the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Passau.

It has the largest church organ outside of United States. It is also the largest cathedral organ in the world.

The image below was taken during my third visit to this city last summer 2010. This is such and amazing work of art! St. Stephan's Cathedral is truly stunning!

The cathedral's overall plan was made by Carlo Lurago, its interior decoration by Giovanni Battista Carlone, and its frescos by Carpoforo Tencalla.

The Quote

“Time is free, but it’s priceless.
You can’t own it, but you can use it.
You can’t keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.”

spring is finally here! taken near our place. I copied the quote posted by my dear friend in her facebook profile.

Inspiring Quote from Proverbs

"If you seek her as a silver,
and search for her
as for hidden trasures;
then you will.....find
the knowledge of God."

Heartaches and Tears

For all the heartaches and the tears,
For gloomy days and fruitless years
I do give thanks, for now I know
These were the things
that helped me grow!

Church in Neumarkt , Bavaria and the Fountain

Good morning folks! It seems that the sky is crying again. No chance to work today in our garden. I better share this picture taken in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate of Bavaria. If I am not mistaken this is the St. Johannes or St. John's Church. You can see a fountain near this church. It is also located near the City Hall.

Frauenkirche, Church of Our Lady in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany

We always pass this Church every time we visit Nuremberg Castle in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany. Sad to say, I was still not able to go inside of this church. I promise that the next time we visit here, I will for sure take a look and lit a candle inside this historical church. Here is a little information I have from Wikipedia about this church.

The Frauenkirche (in English, "Church of Our Lady") is a church in Nuremberg, Germany. It stands on the eastern side of the main market. An example of brick Gothic architecture, it was built on the initiative of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor between 1352 and 1362. The church contains many sculptures, some of them heavily restored. Numerous works of art from the Middle Ages are kept in the church, such as the so-called Tucher Altar (c. 1440, originally the high altar of the Augustinian church of St. Vitus), and two monuments by Adam Kraft (c. 1498).

Looking at The Beautiful Sky in Hohenfels, Bavaria

"To survive the storms of life,
be anchored to the Rock of Ages.
-Our Daily Bread"

This was the sky from last year's summer time in Hohenfels, Bavaria. You can see the tower of the castle remains in this place. That is where we go walking sometime. Tomorrow is officially the start of summer season in Germany. I am hoping that we don't get snow anymore unlike other countries who are still experiencing snow in spring time. Happy weekend to all!

Nice Quote

"We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love."

Powers of evil lose their sway,
We gain strength and fear gives way-
Therefore, let us pray."
