今日は午後からイグナチオ教会のカタコンベ(地下墓地)でお祈りしました。

After the Mass I was praying for my friend in the underground of St. Ignatius, at the catacomb. On the wall by the stairs we can see these beautiful stained glasses.
聖堂からそのカタコンベへ下る階段の壁はステンドグラスになっています。
ここからは地下にあるカタコンベです。周囲の壁は小さなロッカーが並んでいてお骨が納められています。正面にあるのはカタコンベの祭壇です。
This place is the catacomb (the charnel) located in a downstairs room of St. Igunatius Church.
今日はどなたかのお骨納めの日だったようです。Today I saw a small black box which is filled with human bones and a photo on the table... probably a catholich family had the ceremony for putting the ashes to rest at the St. Ignatius Church.

On the wall there are little boxes to put the bones... And our father Klaus Luhmer (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Luhmer) is also sleeping in this charnel since last March 2011.
ちゃんと昨年3月にお亡くなりになったルーメル神父さまのお骨も納められています。

At this Bible Class held on Saturday I met my friend Yayoi who was baptized by him on the Christmas in 2007. He gave her the Catholich name "Rosvita" or something... thus her nickname is now "Rosi." I am so grateful for her kindness that she often gives me some nice comment for my articles.
