This was a wonderful post. Thank you! You reminded me of a magical trip to Nurnberg many years ago. The place, although bombed heavily during WW II, was brought back to its medieval character. I was in awe and roamed around, immersed in what it would have been like in those totally, earnestly Catholic days. St Lorenz church was the first medieval church I had entered with very high vaults. I was forced to look upwards, just like any medieval penitent, and felt Gods presence. It was quite an experience. Everywhere you look, inside and outside buildings in the old town you are on a medieval pilgrimage. I am so happy to be reminded of this blessing.
Oh, that was such a wonderful experience. I will never forget it. And I had German friends explaining everything. Adam Kraft was a huge presence, as was Albrecht Durer, where i was able to visit his old studio across from the king’s castle.
Thank you Sister. Stations I had heard of, "Seven Falls" (?) not so much. Great work researching these reliefs. Maybe return to central Germany one day 😌📿 and go for a reflective saunter. PAPA Benedict of Bavaria and Rome, pray for us! Onward to Jerusalem...
That was very nice. Thank you, and thanks also for the many pictures. I was in Bamberg once for a conference a number of years back--wish I had known to look for these! We have been trying to do the Stations each Friday evening at different churches while we are here in London this semester.

Wow! I have seen Saint Lorenzo in pictures. The tabernacle is incredible. What a cool experience. Thank you for sharing.

This was an enlightening article about the Bamberg stations. I was unaware of this devotion. And I love the photos.
Thanks.
Thank you David!

They are somewhat hidden in the architecture, and I think most of them are technically outside of the city.
What an awesome experience! I bet London churches do the Stations very well. Loved hearing the boys choirs when I visited.
