This must be spectacular close up. If you look at the links above one of them shows the entire altar. It is magnificent. Thanks Thomas!
Oops, Google Translate has made a mistake: "Erscheinung" should be translated as appearance in this context, according to the child who appeared three times to a shepherd and who asked for a chapel (which has become the current basilica in the course of time).
ReplyDeleteSee now, that makes much more sense!
ReplyDeleteI just looked up "publication" on Dictionary.com. The second definition is: "the act of bringing before the public; announcement." It makes sense in that context. I never would have put it together though if you hadn't given the context of "appearance".
