Welcome to my little shrine in Cologne. Often when I travel to the Continent from my native Wessex I can be found here. There are a few small rooms around back for pilgrims and wayfarers. The priest here says Mass and hears confession whenever the sacraments are needed.

If you arrived in Cologne by boat, you undoubtedly noticed the big mess of construction near the river. Until the guildmasters and craftsmen here have finished their ambitious project to build a great Cathedral, this humble chapel serves as something of a center of devotions: St. Ursula, St. Albert the Great (Albert Magnus), and the three Kings that came to honor the newborn Christ-child. (Both Ursula and the Kings are represented in Cologne's coat-of-arms.)

More to come in the future; for now, this is merely a humble shrine--but your prayers work here just as everywhere else!
