However, Worms was where Martin Luther was censured by the existing church (and state) government. This memorial to him in Worms is complex. Those interested to understand it will learn much history and doctrine. Viktor had to circle it three times to explain the meaning of all the figures and reliefs!

It was a hot day, and we talked in the shade just back of the center figure. As we left, one of the guys pointed out that we had been standing in the shadow of Martin Luther!
