    The Zilles Chapel on the Zillesberg is quite a Treiser landmark. It is widely visible and the meeting place of the old and new Stations of the Cross.
    From there you have a fantastic view of the Moselle.

      Saint John the Baptist (also John Baptist), to whom the Zilles Chapel is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven.
      The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Baptist) in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.

        Great post. It was much needed. Love your simplistic style of explanation. loweskidsworkshop.com
