EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Sacred Heart of Ettal Monastery, Upper Bavaria, Germany (2010) This evocative image captures the breathtaking view of the main altar at Ettal Monastery, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Upper Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1330, this Benedictine monastery underwent its initial construction phase between 1330 and 1370, with subsequent additions during the 18th and 19th centuries. The result is a stunning fusion of architectural styles, from the early Gothic to the ornate Rococo and Baroque elements that characterize the monastery's later development. The main altar, bathed in soft light, stands proudly at the heart of the monastery's church. Its classical design, with tall pink pilasters and intricately carved gilt archways, exudes an air of grandeur and reverence. The altar's high white arch, adorned with rococo motifs, frames the central focus - a magnificent statue of the Madonna and Child, surrounded by cherubs and angels. The altar's steps lead up to a neoclassical lectern, where priests would have once delivered sermons, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The main altar is a testament to the enduring influence of Catholicism in Germany, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Bavaria. The monastery's architecture is a harmonious blend of centuries, showcasing the evolution of religious and artistic styles throughout history. This image invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty and significance of this remarkable place of worship. Ettal Monastery, with its impressive main altar, continues to draw visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the spiritual and architectural wonders of Upper Bavaria.
