We were very lucky to be visiting Speyer on the same day as many important Catholics. Cardinal Friedrich Wetter was in Seyer Cathedral along with two thousand invited guests to celebrate the Beatification of Paul Josef Nardini (1821 - 1862) on Sunday the 22nd. October 2006 in Speyer Cathedral. Father Paul Josef Nardini was a Priest in the Diocese of Speyer, he founded the order of Mallersdorfer Sisters who's motto is "Cartis Christi urget nos" = "The love of Christ pushes us" the Priest and the Sisters did great works for the poor in the growing industrial times in Pirmasens. Only invited guest were allowed into the Cathedral but we stopped to watch some of the ceremony on the Video Screens in the dom plaz. Later on, when the technicians were removing some equipment, the Cathedral was open to the public and we got a glimpse of the beautiful relic dedicated to Paul Josef Nardini. Maybe in the future the Priest's entry to Sainthood will appear in a local customs tip in VT.

Speyer seems to offer splendid views from atop its architectural gems! Its wealth of cathedrals with beautiful paintings and interiors must have kept you entranced--it sounds very nice.... | Nemorino Mon Jun 30, 2008 20:29 UTC
