Bad Nauheim (Good Friday)

After attending church at my usual congregation, St. John's (Sankt Johannes Gemeinde) in Oberursel, a couple of us hopped the train to Bad Nauheim to hear Roland sing in a Passion Oratorio based on Mark's Gospel. Bad Nauheim is just north of Frankfurt. As the name implies, Bad Nauheim is known for its hot springs. And, as we've learned, any town in Germany with the name "Bad" is fairly well to do - those who can afford it being drawn to the luxurious baths. The church - Dankeskirche (literally, "Thanks Church") was built just over 100 years ago from a dark stone and features a steeple climbing 70 meters into what was for us a beautiful blue sky.






Peace to you.
