Devotional and Christmas Market in Frankfurt

On Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at noon we had a Christmas Devotional with the Europe Area Presidency.  We heard messages from each member of the Area Presidency and their wives.  It was a wonderful meeting followed by refreshments and time to socialize together.

One of Germany's biggest and best known Christmas Markets is held in Frankfurt, so at 3:30pm we went as a Welfare and Self Reliance team to enjoy the festivities downtown.  Every weekend there are many Christmas Markets throughout the country.  You just have to decide which ones you want to see, as there are not enough weekends to see them all.  On this day we rode the train down to the shopping district,  strolled along -- looking at the sights, listening to the sounds and smelling the delicious food in the air.

Scroll down, the pictures tell the story.





















"This is a glorious time of the year, simple in origin, deep in meaning, beautiful in tradition and custom, rich in memories, and charitable in spirit.  It has an attraction to which our hearts are readily drawn.  This joyful season brings to each of us a measure of happiness that corresponds to the degree in which we have turned our mind, feelings, and actions to the spirit of Christmas".  Thomas S. Monson, Christmas Devotional 1996
