There are places where we walk awakens echoes enchanting, these charming places where everyday reality gives way other realities, other universe ...
Where the boundaries between worlds are more tenuous.
From these paths where the past still has many mysteries came close to a present where our lives have often taken a frenetic rhythm. Mount St. Odile is one of those magical places in which to explore its mysterious paths.
In the Lower Rhine at about thirty kilometers from Strasbourg on the summit of the Vosges, stands Mount Sainte-Odile and her famous pagan wall. Alsatian shrine, it is very busy and this seems, long time! For if a monastic community of Mount holds since the 7th century, the place, as evidenced Wall pagan and other objects found on site has been inhabited for a long time.
Sainte-Odile, who gave his name to the Mount was born blind in 662 in Obernai, adalric his father, Duke of Alsace wanted to kill her and her mother arrived at the Berwind entrusted to his nurse who raised him in secret and then took him to a monastery of free-counted.
There she later received the baptism. During the sacrament
she covered the view. She then decided to give his life to God and Christianity. His brother wanted to learn the miracle to his present the father believed dead, this one full of anger Roua blow up his son's death. After the drama, filled with remorse, he offered the Hohenburg it into a monastery that is now the monastery of Mont Saint Odile. Odile share this miracle and the source of the prophecies written:
She arrived at the time of her pop up in the terrible warrior undertake the conquest of the world and people in the army calls' Antichrist. Whoever is cursed by mothers crying as their children Rachel and not wanting to be comforted. Twenty different nations will fight in this war. The Conqueror from the banks of the Danube, the war that he will undertake the most appalling that humans have ever experienced. The armies are flamboyant and helmets of the soldiers will be bristling with tips that will launch lightning while their hands waving flaming torches. They will win victories on land, sea and into the air, as we will see these winged warriors in overlapped unimaginable rise into the sky to seize the stars to project them on the cities to light a large fire .
nations will be in astonishment and exclaimed: "Where does his strength?". The Earth will be overwhelmed by the shock of battle, the flowers will be red with blood and sea monsters themselves flee in terror to the depths of the oceans. Future generations will be surprised that opponents were unable to impede the progress of his victories. Torrents of blood will flow around the mountain, it will be the last battle, ultimate Pugni. But the conqueror reaches the height of his triumphs in the middle of the sixth month of the second year of hostilities, it will be the end of the first period of so-called bloody victories. Believe it then be able to dictate its terms. The second part of the war in length will equal half of the first, it will be called the period decrease. It will be fruitful in surprises that will make people shudder. Towards the middle of this time the tribes submitted to the conqueror will say: "Peace!" Peace! ". But there will be no peace, it will not end but the beginning of the end, when the battle will engage in the city of cities at that time his people will want to stone him, but he will do things prodigious East. The third period will be short lived. Here a just reward of conquering the country will be invaded from all sides, his armies are decimated by a great evil and everyone will say: "The finger of God is there!". People will believe that his end will be next. The scepter will change hands and mine will rejoice. All despoiled peoples regain what they lost and something more. The area will be saved Lutece itself because of its mountains and blessed his women devotees, and yet have believed all to ruin.
But people will go to the mountain and give thanks to God because men have seen such horrors in the war that their generation do not want anymore.
Woe to those who yet do not fear the Antichrist because it will create new monsters. But the era of peace under the iron will arrive. And we will see the two horns of the Moon meet at the Cross. On that day the frightened men worship God in truth
And the sun shone unaccustomed.
Comments No need for you to realize that this prophecy is very relevant.
Another thing adds to the mystery of Sainte-Odile and its monastery, the legend of the source. Sainte Odile would hit the ground near his monastery, a source would have sprung; washing the eyes of a blind pilgrim who was lost with the water newly sprung, the latter regained his sight.
Today the source is still busy and we can often see people who wash their eyes with this water. The place is really enchanting and geologists are wondering about the source. It should not run there, geological faults do not seem to afford it.
The destination of this forum which encircles the mountain is also still open to question. Defensive walls or cult?
Given the destination of Mount today, which is a place of pilgrimage and correlated with many other different Christian places of worship today, which are places of worship since ancient times and before I incline to worship an enclosure, or both, but not solely defensive. Mount St. Odile is a place apart which releases fumes pariculières I will discuss the various interesting points of the site in the second part of the article.
The wall consists of large stones from 1.50 m to 1.80 m long from a good cinquanatine cm wide and thirty high, the blocks are fairly regular. The wall can be up to three meters high. The number of stones to build this wall is estimated at 300,000. They were taken to Mount can still see some rocks with indentations for the extraction started.
