I guess the world has taken several turns between my last communion services. I got up during the Agnus Dei to go to communion, no one else joined. I saw that it was somehow suspicious. Maybe not? Have others really been able to live without sin? It's like going back, isn't it? I decided to go all the way. Well, then it turned out that the others had to miss the song and the teacher probably made a decision on that whether to invite them to communion or not. This time they were lucky.? Nice everyone!

A local resident gave me a little tour and told me some facts about this place. Many thanks to him.
