The photo was taken in the Cathedral of St. Paul, Münster, Germany, after the Allied bombing had ruined this most beautiful cathedral. Greetings from Germany. From the diocese of Münster where I live … Oremus pro invicem. Let us pray for each other. – photo identified by Nico, the person speaking (provided by catholicgentleman.com )
Münster is close to the Netherlands.
“In the entrance area (southwest transept) is a statue of St. Barbara which is not very prominently displayed. She holds a round tower with three windows in her hands. The legend has it that the saint was locked in a tower by her father to keep her from marriage and Christian influence. Because of the cramped nature of the tower and its stairway, she is now patron saint of miners – the cramped tower symbolizes the way through the narrow door of death to eternal life.” Quote from Wikipedia
