This morning several of us drove about an hour to Wiesbaden to visit the Christmas market there, but first we enjoyed their weekly free organ concert in the beautiful Marktkirche.
After the 30 minute concert we wandered through the Christmas market surrounding the church. There was also a wonderful farmer’s market adjoining the Christmas market.
The stone work on these old churches is so beautiful.
After the beautiful concert we spent some time out in the market areas, wandering, looking, enjoying all the fun details. Each market has its own feel. This one felt more local and not so crowded, at least for a Saturday morning.

This was one of my favorite parts of the morning–watching children respond to a life-sized Nativity. The children stared and lingered. The adults rushed by. There seemed to be lots of families here today. A nice tradition for the locals.
We stopped here for lunch:
