A masterpiece of reconciliation
Yesterday a ceremony was held in the German city of Dresden to consecrate the Church of our Lady "Frauenkirche" which was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II. Sunday's ceremony was attended by representatives from around the world. It is the end of a story that began on a cold night in February 1945, when Allied bombers carried out one of the most notorious air raids of World War II.The ruins of the church were once described as "a gaping wound in the heart of Dresden", a German newspaper recently titled the rebuilt church a "masterpiece of reconciliation".
