\nI know from personal experience that what appears modest on the outside often has a rich interior. Although there are exceptions. Looking at this first photo, you'll probably understand the admiration evoked by the beautiful interior of St. Paulinus Church. Incidentally, we spent very little time visiting this church, as our train was already leaving, but such opulence provided an extraordinarily beautiful finale to our trip to Trier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The glass interior door was adorned with an ornate handle. Well, there was something to see there!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The Church of St. Paulinus has pilgrimage status, as it is here, in the crypt, that the tomb of St. Paulinus and the remains of executed soldiers of the Theban Legion, transferred here from Egypt at the end of the 3rd century, are located.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

According to legend, during Diocletian's persecution of Christians, more than 6,000 fearless soldiers, led by their commander Maurice, professed Christian faith but refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, for which they were beheaded. This took place in ancient Trier. The gruesome execution of the soldiers lasted three days (October 4\u20136, 286). It took place on the Champ de Mars, and their bloody bodies were thrown into the Moselle. This place is located next to the Church of St. Paulinus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The vaults are decorated with a microcosm of paintings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

In reality, at the site of the soldiers' execution, there now stands a memorial stone cross with the following inscription in Latin: "I and all of us together are invincible." It is also depicted in the fresco.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The church was built from 1734 to 1751 according to designs by architect Johannes Seitz and the brilliant German architect Balthasar Neumann. In 2007, the church celebrated its 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n

So, not all that glitters is gold and there is always room for discovery in life!<\/p>\n

Discover the world!<\/p>\n
