(Cologne Cathedral window)
"In Nazareth, home life was sanctified, and a perfect example was given to every Christian family.
Grant, we beseech Thee, that we may fully comprehend and faithfully imitate the virtues of the Holy Family so that we may be united with them one day in their heavenly glory.
Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen."
(Trier Cathedral bas relief)


Oh my goodness. They just don’t make churches over here like that (Not often, anyways — not on every street corner like over there!) Happy Feast of the Holy Family to a very awesome family!
That stained glass window is gorgeous! Thank you for all the photos that you share. Happy Feast of the Holy Family. I pray that you and your family have a blessed 2012.
happy and holy feast day!
Happy Feast of the Holy Family (a day late)! Incredible pictures — thank you!
