Heute haben wir oft spazieren gegangen! The day was filled
with walking and adventure. During our free time in the morning, we hiked up
the hill to the Burschenschaftsdenkmal. From there we hiked back down a scenic
route, Panoramaweg, which provided a nice view of Eisenach.
The afternoon offered a unique opportunity for us. May 4 is
the anniversary of Martin Luther being taken away to go into hiding at the
Wartburg. We joined a group of confirmation students and took a bus to
Lutherweg, where we walked the path for a bit. We then came to the point where
Luther was taken, where a monument now stands. Several people gathered to
celebrate the day, and there was a reenactment of Luther’s “kidnapping,” which
I was mostly able to follow with my German. This opportunity was also a nice
time to speak with a couple pastors and learn more from them.
In the evening we attended worship at the Wartburg. This was
my first time in the castle, and I am very anxious to start working on my
internship there Monday. Today I received an outline of the plan for my
internship, and I look forward to learning from the people I work with at the
castle. Attending worship, if only to see the chapel, made me excited to be
part of the rich history.
