스태테그 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

오직 두 개의 나무 들보만이 이곳에 가장 단순한 형태의 십자가를 이룹니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 이 작은 성스러운 기념물은 – 길에서 등산객/자전거 타는 사람이 만나는 모든 십자가와 마찬가지로 – 본질적인 기독교 상징입니다. 그것은 그의 십자가 처형에 대한 기억을 나타내며, 동시에 예수 그리스도의 부활을 나타냅니다. 중요한 프랑스 수도회 설립자이자 교회 교사인 성 베르나르 드 클레르보의 다음 인용문이 있습니다: + “우리에게 땅에는 그의 기억이 있고, 천국에는 그의 현존이 있습니다: 이 현존은 이미 복을 받은 자들의 기쁨입니다. 기억은 우리를 위로하며, 우리는 여전히 여행자로서 고향으로 가는 길에 있습니다.”

Superb lighting before sunset on the west summit

Nice service, good food

JOHN THE BAPTIST (also called JOHN THE BAPTIST), to whom this mountain chapel is entrusted as a patron saint, is a man mentioned in the Bible at the very beginning of the New Testament, as he is half a year older than Jesus. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven. John is therefore considered his forerunner/paver in Christian theology. The Evangelist Luke writes: + "A voice calls in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord! Make straight his paths! (...) And all people will see the salvation of God." Saint John the Baptist has two commemoration days in the calendar of saints: that of his birth is on June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve; that of his beheading is on August 29.

Gasthaus Martinelli unfortunately closed forever!!!!

Currently (Nov 2024) it looks like a renovation is underway here. Someone is putting up a fence around the house - to keep hikers away and fence off private property? (See my photos)
