Pope Benedict XVI expressed the following thought during the Stations of the Cross meditation (Good Friday 2010) in the Colosseum in Rome, which might also be of interest to those passing by here in front of this small sacred monument in the form of a wayside cross: "In the silence that surrounds Holy Saturday, we live, touched by the boundless love of God, in anticipation of the morning of the third day, the morning of the victory of God's love, the morning of light that enables the eyes of the heart to see life, difficulties, suffering in a new way. Our failures, our disappointments, our bitter experiences, where everything seems to be falling apart, are illuminated by hope. The Father confirms the act of love [of Jesus Christ] on the cross, and the radiant light of the resurrection envelops and transforms everything..." (Pope Benedict XVI)

The small church in the district of Geisenfeldwinden, described as "a rather curious building" because of the very powerful tower construction from 1890, was built around 1410 as a choir tower. It contains neo-Gothic-Nazarene furnishings. The beautiful old church door and a late Gothic carved figure "St. Vitus in the cauldron”. The almost 300-year-old linden tree next to the church, which was unfortunately badly tousled by a storm in 2007, is impressive.
