Siegburg memories 2.

A selection of pictures taken in the church of St. Michael the Archangel in Michaelsberg Abbey. It is also the site of the beautiful chapel of Archbishop Anno II of Cologne (1056-1075), dated 2021, where the bones of the Archbishop are housed in a small box in the shape of a golden house formed from letters (the whole life with the years of his life are given out!).

The chapel is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows, one of which also features a bird feeding its chicks with its own blood as a symbol of self-sacrificing love. This motif is also on the coat of arms of the Alexian Order.
