In this beautiful city, a visit to the historic hospital is an absolute must.

recommended, good presentation and very interesting.

The small sacred monument we encounter here is a universal symbol of the death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became man and was executed on the cross – but at the same time, it is also a symbol of the overcoming of death in the resurrection. Thus, all crosses point us to the Easter perspective of hope – always inherent in Christianity – which, through faith in God, firmly trusts in the ability to overcome death and suffering. + "We Christians connect our hopes, in particular, with the graces of heaven. This gives our hope a concrete connection and grows from faith in God's goodness and love. And we know whom we can thank when our hopes are fulfilled, and whom we can entrust when our hopes are not. I believe this certainty is a grace in itself that we are allowed to experience." (Christiane Völkel)

In a town in the Moselle Valley, which, like Burgundy, is internationally renowned for its winemaking, I found the following slogan (without citing the source) on a large billboard: "The earth, the vine, the sunshine, they bring us the golden wine. But if it weren't for the work of the winemaker, even the finest glasses would remain empty." The statement fits perfectly with the monument shown here.

The Hôtel-Dieu is a former hospital in Beaune. It was founded in 1443 and used as a hospital until 1971. The Hôtel-Dieu is now part of the Hospices Civils de Beaune complex. Today, parts of the old complex are used as a retirement home, while the rest can be visited as a museum, providing interesting insights into nursing in the early modern period.
