I guess the world has taken several turns between my last communion services. I got up during the Agnus Dei to go to communion, no one else joined. I saw that it was somehow suspicious. Maybe not? Have others really been able to live without sin? It's like going back, isn't it? I decided to go all the way. Well, then it turned out that the others had to miss the song and the teacher probably made a decision on that whether to invite them to communion or not. This time they were lucky.? Nice everyone!

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
