Description

Shrine with a View to the Dachstein Mountain – Anton Schiffer – Catholic Gift – Archival QualityThis gorgeous landscape was done back when many people in the world still traveled on foot. Shrines were common along the roads and paths for travelers. When they beheld the lofty mountains grandeur, it was natural to sink to ones knees and praise God for his glory. This shrine gave the people a small, dedicated place to pray and stay out of the elements and be closer to the divine, up where the top of the world reaches towards heaven. This picture
