Mediator between heaven and earth   For true Hold Angels The earthly man Living yesterday and spiritual forces Along the stars To the beginning The new paths Into the light Silent and unsolicited In the meeting of minds But they carry no pen On blank sheets of paper They lead to resistance: Stay true to yourself Spread peace Future man The sound from the silence Between heaven and earth

Protestant parish church, Heuchelheim. Choir (14th century), west tower (dated 1503) and wall/ceiling painting in the choir (around 1500).

The Sanctus of Conversion

Ceiling paintings (around 1500), west tower (dated 1503). The thinking pictures interpret the frescoes in the choir vault of the church, which depict angels making music, among other things. The 15th century is considered the century of angels. In the liturgy of the time, it was believed that angels played the “Sanctus” from the starry sky during the consecration. As this heavenly music was not audible to people on earth, it was intended to be perceived by the senses during the meditation of prayer. This invitation to pause for a moment still applies today.
