BASILICA OF ST CYRIAKUS

DUDERSTADT

GERMANY

The highlight of the beautiful medieval town's city center, the gothic church of St Cyriakus has been a minor basilica  since 2015.

"Also martyred was the Deacon Cyriacus who possessed great power over demons and who healed Artemia, the demonical daughter of Diocletian, as well as Jovia, the daughter of the Persian emperor, and baptized both of them.”

- St Nicholas of Serbia: Ohrid Prologue

Beautiful unexpected stop in an up-till-now unknown town. The city center was as if from a historical movie. The lights in the church went on when I opened the door. So modern! And they even had a card reader next to the entrance for donations.
