St. Gallen Again

Evening Stroll

A visiting son wanted to see the city, before we went for dinner. It was a pleasant end-of summer evening, before approaching rains.







We stopped in the cathedral and puzzled out more of the depicted Bible stories on the confessionals. 
Your guess for this one? Answer at the end. 



Switzerland has every imaginable sort of cheese and dairy product. Try this: “Chewing cheese” - like chewing gum, but these are for dogs. 


The end of the wall that once separated the Catholic monastery part of the city from the Reformed secular part in the 1600’s and following. (Pam, remember? We ate in this restaurant.)


From the same spot, looking the opposite way, toward a city church. 


Balcony garden.


City show garden 






To be continued….

Answer: The scene depicted is the parable of the lost coin and the sweeping that ensued. Of course the house had a golden dome!

  1. I thought the story might be the Samaritan woman who wanted to be healed and said even the dogs eat the crumbs from the masters table.

    What? Separate the Catholics and reformed? No diversity! No inclusion! No mixed race couples! Oh the horrors.

  2. That was a good guess for the Bible story. 😁 Some of us first guessed Martha’s busyness.

  3. Yes, I do remember but didn’t see the mural at our visit.

    I guessed the lost coin.
