These are pictures from the monastery.
People that died left them money to build neat building.

Then we visited some cathedrals in the villages in Bavaria. They were all handpainted and the buildings were shaped like a crosses. They weren't the places the tourist usually go, I think they were better. You could feel the beauty and peace as you sat in the church.

These are the two churches we visited in Germany.

The cathedral in Stockholm had dead people buried in the floor from the 1600's! When we visited the cathedrals in Germany there were four skeletons, behind the glass wearing fancy robes,  in each corner of the cross in the cathedral. They were some really old bishops, long gone home.

We also visited Oberammagau, Germany. It was a very beautiful city. When the Black Plague killed alsmost 1/2 of Europe in the 1500s the people of the village prayed to God to be spared and they promised to do a Passion Play every ten years if God let them lived. They all survived and the people have kept their promise

there was gold

and majesty.

The cathedrals were filled with stone carvings and wood carvings. Everything had special meanings.

This is Oberammagau.
