St. Nikolai Church in Leipzig holds alot of memories Since its inception in around the twelfth century Dedicated to Nicholas,the medieval patron Saint of merchants
Built originally in the romanesque architectural style Its steeples of the quaint Baroque decoration Its facade transformed with sandstone contemporary fashion
Fascinating indeed is the interior Set ornately in a classicistic ambience Demonstrating to its visitors a profound air of peace and confidence
Its impressive columns leading to the sanctuary so designed Projects an authentic impression of upholding palms Together with the rich ornamental decorations embellished
The Angel of Peace above the altar is a rarity for admiration With awe and deep reverence world visitors perceive immediate serenity In this very sacred sanctuary
The miraculous work of Christ Jesus so depicted Portrays vividly the fundamental basic truths of our Saviour The Son of God who came to redeem Mankind
The art works of alabaster reliefs depict the finest craftsmanship The Way of The Cross and the Romanesque Crucifix uphold The pride of the oldest art work in Leipzig within DeutchlandÂ
Bach, the creative and renowned organist of the Choir Was the forerunner in its impressive Church Musical history That the Spirit of Peace reigns till the present age
Words of our Lord's teaching,the Beautitudes spread Beyond the Christian identity to the non-believers And ever since Peace Prayers services play an integral partÂ
Nikolaikirche houses the truth in Peace and Hope This very Church of God bespeaks  solace and comfort That prevails through the ages till eternity
