Frauenkirche
Dresden's Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche) has been reconsecrated, 60 years after The Fire-bombing of Dresden, the "crime against God and man*" committed by the Allies: Conductor Maazel Talks About Dresden's Frauenkirche, War Crimes.
[Leave it to Lutherans, God bless 'em, to dedicate a Protestant church to the Mother of God!]
Gegrüsst seist du, Maria, voll der Gnade; der Herr ist mit dir; du bist gebenedeit unter den Frauen und gebenedeit ist die Frucht deines Leibes, Jesus. Heilige Maria Mutter Gottes, bitte für uns Sünder, jetzt und in der Stunde unseres Todes. Amen.
*See the Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraph #2314. [If we are to hold our former enemies accountable for their war crimes, it is only reasonable that we hold ourselves to the same standard. Likewise, if we accuse our present-day enemies of moral relativism, let's avoid it ourselves.]

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
