Where is Chris - Easter Sunday 2020

Happy Easter

Main Pipe Organ - St. Eusebius Church, Arnhem

Today marks the most solemn day in the Christian calendar.  Unlike Christmas, Easter is a movable feast occurring the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox.   It can therefore occur between March 22 and April 25.  This year Easter falls in the middle of possible weekends.

Christians were unable to gather in churches today, across the world, but rather watched and prayed from their homes.  They still rejoiced because He is Risen from the Dead, which is particularly comforting during this pandemic crisis.   This Good News has been handed down from generation to generation and is based on the scriptures recorded more than 2000 years ago.


We have had the good fortune of exploring some of the most famous churches in Europe.  These old churches and cathedrals have withstood World Wars, fires, and other natural and man-made disasters. 

During our travels, we have learned about how the cathedrals and their contents have withstood the test of time.  In some cases, bombs fell all around, but left only minor damage to the cathedral.   In other cases, damage was more extensive but the communities rose from the ashes and restored them to their previous condition.  Visiting these churches has enhanced our cruising experiences and we hope that you'll also have the opportunity to visit some historic churches on one of your future cruise vacations.  St. Eusebius Church in Arnhem is one that was restored after the war.

When you enter St. Eusebius Church in the heart of Arnhem, the first thing you see is the main pipe organ, the Strümphler organ, which dates back to 1795 and is the replacement of the Wagner organ from 1770 which was destroyed completely in WWII. There are five columns that house the pipes. Each of the towers are adorned with angels.

Where is Chris - Admiring Pipe Organ

Today on Holy Monday, we continue our tour of famous cathedrals and churches we've visited during our travels.  This cathedral has an amazing pipe organ in the loft.  Can you just imagine being inside when the organist strikes a chord?   Can you guess where I am?

Children can help you search on the web to see if you can solve today's challenge.  They might also wish to just listen to some organ music to see what it would be like to be inside this cathedral. #KeepTheKidsEngaged
