THOUGHTS OF THE MONTH

For you. New every month. To reflect, enjoy and inspire.

What do I love so much about St Marien?

At different times of the day and year, the light falling into the church will illuminate something you have walked past hundreds of times but never noticed before.

Look up?

When I look up at the highest brick vault in the world, I feel connected to God, who shows us a bright, friendly face and helps us to rise above ourselves.

Why do I enjoy playing music here?

Making music in St Marien means feeling the spirit of Buxtehude and Bach and carrying it forward. Amazing!

What do I love so much about St Marien?

It is very difficult not to be enthusiastic about working in St Mary's Church. If this place does not make you smile and marvel, I do not know what else could.

Everything bone dry?

In St Marien, you are surrounded by living history. Not like in a museum, where it is merely exhibited, but right where history happened and continues to happen to this day.
