City on Three Rivers

Just a note about Friday’s trip to Passau, located at the confluence of three rivers. One of these is the Danube, which we drove alongside to get there from Aicha.

As usual, I was awed by the beauty and antiquity of it all.

The Bishop’s cathedral was impressive, but the highlight of the day for me was a more modest church we happened upon. There was a concert in process there. We stood in the doorway, peeking through the window, and listened to a girls’ choir singing the Bach chorale: Jesu, Priceless Treasure. With the variations. No picture of this, just a glorious memory.
