Devil’s wind

In Munich, tourists certainly attend Frauenkirche – Cathedral of the Holy Virgin. Admiring his greatness, do not forget to mention and feature: the devilish wind walks around God’s temple. Munichs are not surprised: they know the legend.

This will certainly reduce the number of sinners among the local population. And he decided to join the fight. Agreed with the northern wind, which himself bursts into a unliar temple himself and starts to twist it from the inside, and the wind will face the facade.

The devil flew under the arches of the cathedral and froze in bewilderment: not a single window! Yes, who will walk here? On joy, he so fused his foot that a deep footprint remained on the stone floor, and went bang. But on the day of the opening of the cathedral, the people pushed crowds. The devil looked at Frauenkirhe from: windows were in place! But the cathedral was already consecrated, it was impossible to change anything.
