Back on the bus as we head from Erfurt to Eisenach. This morning we had a walking tour of the old city of Erfurt which is one of the best preserved in all of Germany with many medeval and renessaince buildings, and of course, many churches. We spent some time in the Mariondom cathedral. Then it was on to the Augustinian monastery where Luther was received as a monk, was ordained and celebrated his first mass. We had a very special moment as we gathered before the altar, sang, and shared in Holy Communion in the very place where Martin Luther so nervously for the first time said the mass. It was a holy moment.

Today was just as awesome as the previous. While touring Erfurt, we had the opportunity to take communion at the church of the Augustinain monastery. What a wonderful and moving experience to share Holy Communion together in such a special place. After touring the Mariondom cathedral and the monastery, we enjoyed a wonderful relaxing time in the Domplatz having lunch. What a special day we have been blessed with.
