"Lord Jesus, our gaze is fixed on you, turned toward you—it is full of shame, repentance, and hope. (...) grant us always the grace of holy hope! Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber to your left, and the short-sighted and the corrupt, who saw in you an opportunity to be seized, an inferior to be ridiculed, another opportunity to burden others and even God with their own guilt. Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to equate us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and, with honesty and integrity, stole paradise. Amen!" (Prayer for the Way of the Cross with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, Good Friday 2018)

At the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern era in the 16th century, an execution site was located in the Saffig district. The gallows were visible from afar on the mountain slope leading to the towns of Saffig and Miesenheim. Even today, this area is known as "Am Galgenstück" (The Gallows Piece). According to oral tradition, many convicts were executed on Saffig Hill. According to Helmut Dörholt of Saffig, countless innocent people are also said to have lost their lives there during the Thirty Years' War. The dead were subsequently buried in the surrounding fields.
