Tips

Franz Josef Klingen

St. Matthias is the destination of many pilgrimage routes of the St. Matthias Brotherhood (SMB) from the Lower Rhine, the Eifel, the Middle Rhine and the Moselle. Thousands of pilgrims have been making their way to the only tomb of the apostles north of the Alps every year for centuries - often between Ascension Day and Pentecost.

History: abteistmatthias.de

cited from there:

Pilgrims have been making their way to the shrine of the apostles in Trier for more than 800 years, and the pilgrimage is surprisingly lively, with most of the 180 pilgrimages having a long or very long tradition, some of them being already 200, 500 or even 800 years old or young In the ups and downs of the times, they have always been able to find that connection between past and present that makes a tradition alive and attractive. "

"The Matthias grave: Following the legend, Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, brought the remains of the Apostle Matthias to Trier in the 4th century AD They are now resting in a shrine in the crypt after the rebuilding of the basilica Liege figure of the Heilgen. "
