These are photos from St. Thomas and St. Nicholas on lesser town cathedrals. Each of the cathedrals has it's own completely different style. St. Nicholas has a tremendous amount of guilding. They covered pretty much everything in gold, including the face of the body you see there in the glass case. I don't remember his name, but that is the actual remains of one of their important people. Some of the cathedrals had just 1 or a few people buried or preserved there, and some had many, many. I don't get it, but that's what we saw. I also didn't understand the incredibly violent sculptures, but we sure saw a lot of them.
