"The light of living in the present, as taught by ruined churches and shining stalls"]

— Around Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, which still bears the scars of war, one of the most gorgeous and traditional Christmas markets in Berlin appears every year from the end of November to the end of December 🎄✨

The ruins of the church create a symbolic landscape, and a heartwarming space spreads out with fantastic illuminations.
It is a mysterious and beautiful market where "quiet and profound prayer" and "lively celebration" are both present.
