Easter in Germany-CM

take heed; the bell
a call to church
or needless knell

the village prank
pews of ghost town
the bodies shrank

need a pastor
that draws them in
could be faster

the ring and shout
it’s loud and clear
bring love about

It's hard for me to understand Christianity in Germany after the horrors of the 1st. Reich, 2nd. Reich, and the 3rd. Reich.

What I meant was it's a miracle Christianity survived in Germany.

I know. Perhaps many became numb to Christianity since H@$#&@ used it in his atheistic way. I pray that people all around the world will turn back to God. Thanks, Dennis!

Were you in Germany? This makes me feel like religion is dying there Great set. I left my church but I need more spirituality so I want to join my daughter at this non denominational church she discovered 15 miles away

It seems like it is, however I wasn’t on a fact finding mission. You will have to let w know if you like her church. Hugs. Oh, yes, I was in Germany for the month of April, after a 15 day transatlantic crossing. We also went to Azores, Portugal, Spain, Gibraltar. Quite an experience

It sounds like you had a very memorable holiday Kim! So nice to see the different ways people celebrate Easter - we were in Malta about 12 years ago and they had huge parades in the street and special cakes and biscuits too:-) hugs Jan x
