Three Wise Men, the day before



















One day to go... Tomorrow is the Three Wise Men´s day!!!!
Look at the Wikipedia to get more of the History-story-legend of these people going to see Jesus the Kid.


And I'm one of the priviledged who has seen the shrine at the Köln Cathedral ;P. It's supposed to contain the bones of the Three Wise Men as originally discovered by Saint Helena. As one can imagine, they had been in a bit of a travel around the world until they reached their final destination: Holy Land, Constantinople, Milan, and finally Köln.


Here you have a picture of the entrance to the Kölner Dom.
There's no way you can get the whole thing in a picture from this side!! Anyway, one can get the idea of its bigness, I think.
Just look how tiny people look like in front of its doors ;P


I strongly recommend you to visit this church if you happen to land on Köln sometime. Just a bit of warning: if you intend to climb the tower, please train as hard as you can a couple of months before you do it: the tower is REALLY high ;)
