Dresden's Frauenkirche

The TV has been on in the background this morning and we've been watching the dedication ceremony of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. This church was destroyed by Allied bombing 60 years ago, and we saw the reconstruction a couple of years ago when we took a little tour of Dresden. We attempted to tour the church when we were there, but a lot of it was still blocked off due to construction, and we ended up sitting through a lecture in German which for me was a yawn, but was way better for Bernd. We were however, very impressed with the whole project, especially the part where we not forced to pay for it via taxation, so we made a fairly healthy (for us) donation. Bernd noted this morning as he watched the ceremony on TV, and I think it bears repeating, that this is what the world should be focusing on....rebuilding instead of destruction. This church has been brought back to its original glorious state, and to read more about it, here's a link:
