Köln

 

Worshiping in Köln was a very interesting but cool experience. This church is much older, much more beautiful but much more formal then my church at home. Having said this I still very much enjoyed this experience. To be able to worship our God in such a grand and ginormous building built for this sole purpose was incomprehensible let alone to add in the fact that the building was built in the middle ages. Though the service was in German, it was still easy to see the longing worship of the church. Incense was something I had never experienced in church and it was fun to have the added mist and smells to the church service. It was weird first going into the church in the middle of the service as tourists and just standing in the back of the hall admiring the architecture which a service goes on in front of us. It felt slightly dishonoring like we shouldn’t be there, and yet at the same time, It gives others a chance to experience church without having to to go to church, which is a positive way to look at it. Over all this was the most grand and high church that I have ever been to and it was an honor to worship here.
