Tour of the Museum of the Roman Catholic Cathedral

I suggest you look at the Museum of Catholic luxury Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Munster (Germany). In it it collected a variety katoliticheskie relics and jewelry.




The museum consists of three floors. On the first floor are reliquaries, which contains pieces of tissue, bones, teeth, or holy men. And of course a lot of crosses. All products are very fine workmanship, with numerous precious and semiprecious stones.









Each bone is carefully packed in a piece of cloth and tied with gold thread.

















On the second floor of the priestly vestments are stored in different years. Velvet, silk, satin, embroidered with precious stones and gold thread. All of this creates a sense of solemnity and inaccessible for the common man.







































On the third floor you can see the layout of the cathedral, various icons and utensils, such as beads of priests.









To date, all this wealth is gone from the Catholic Church, priests are now dress modestly and only on major holidays afford to dress richly embroidered robes.
