Mainz vendría a ser el barrio bohemio de la provincia de Hesse. Conocimos el Rhin (esta vez sí era este el río).
Las tres fotos que siguen son del patio de la catedral, o Dom, y en las galerias laterales están las tumbas de los arzobispos y de otras personas del siglo 13 al 18. Una que nos llamó la atención y era la más antigua de Canon Wignandus que murió en 1048, estaba escrita en latín y al final decía (les transcribo la traducción en inglés, que estaba en la guía):
"Do not pass, faithful brother and reader, without reading my deeds and protecting them by prayers. An exit awaits us all who are earth, and no man merit avoid this downfall. Therefore, every age is driven to the goal of death. Every man sustains death from the forbidden apple; and as I failed by the incentive of the unjust serpent and the soul fears this (downfall) because guilt depresses it, dear reader, send prayers to Christ so that my spirit can breath an eternal grace."
