I linger before the stone angel, whose bowed figure touches my soul. His sorrow becomes tangible in the cold stone. My fingers wish to stroke the curved wings, offering comfort where none seems possible. In his timeless grief, I find a strange peace. He watches over the past, while I merely pause on my journey to preserve his silent story.

Ich verweile vor dem steinernen Engel, dessen gesenkte Gestalt meine Seele berührt. Seine Trauer wird greifbar im kalten Stein. Meine Finger möchten über die geschwungenen Flügel streichen, Trost spenden, wo keiner möglich scheint. In seinem zeitlosen Schmerz finde ich seltsame Ruhe. Er wacht über Vergangenes, während ich nur kurz innehalte auf meinem Weg, um seine stille Geschichte zu bewahren.

One evening in May 2024, we were driving with some friends through Northern Chicago. At a red light, I turned my head to the right and saw this gorgeous window at the Immaculate Conception Parish in Norwood Park West. It felt like seridipity to see it at night with its stained glass full illuminated.

Die Engelsstatuen in der Engelsburg in Rom verkörpern eine faszinierende Verbindung von Kunst und Geschichte. Ursprünglich als Mausoleum für Kaiser Hadrian erbaut, wurde die Burg später eine Festung. Besonders beeindruckend ist der Erzengel Michael, der das Schwert schwingt – ein Symbol des Schutzes und der göttlichen Macht über die Stadt.

The angel statues in Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome represent a captivating blend of art and history. Originally built as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, the castle later became a fortress. Particularly striking is the Archangel Michael, wielding a sword—a symbol of protection and divine power over the city.
