Salzburg, Austria, is likened to the antechamber of the Albis Mountains.
It has been the richest place in Austria since ancient times.
The grain alley nine in Salzburg is famous all over the world because it is mozart's birthplace.
There is also a place in Salzburg that is famous, namely the Mirabell Gardens and the Mirabell Palace.
Mirabell Palace was built in 1606 and was given to his lover Salome by then Cardinal Wolfe.
According to legend, Salome was "more crystalline than crystal, more delicate than a rose, graceful as a willow, elegant as a blue diamond." ”
A great beauty.
Salome was the bishop's favorite lover, bore him 15 children and survived 10.
Bishop Wolff and Salome lived happily for 6 years at Mirabell Palace until the East Window Incident.
Because Catholic bishops at that time could not have marriage, this relationship between religious leaders was considered by the Holy See to be an unrequited love.
Their stories are shocking.
At that time, Salzburg was a theocratic monarch, and Bishop Wolff was both a religious leader and a ruler, monopolizing the production and sale of salt mines. Rich can be enemy of the country.
When he was in power, he rebuilt the Salzburg Cathedral, expanded the streets of the Old Town, expanded the Bishop's Palace, and left the prototype of the Old Town of Salzburg.
However, the East Window Incident in the Golden House shocked the Holy See, believing that Catholic holiness had been desecrated, and Wolf was forcibly removed from office, imprisoned in the fortress, and mysteriously died five years later.
Archbishop Wolff broke the catholic precepts for love, desperately pursued his love, and of course finally ruined his political career.
Love is originally the nature of human beings in the world, whether it is a mortal or a saint, after adulthood, when encountering the opposite sex of the heart, love will quietly breed in the heart and will take root.
In Catholic canon law, however, women belong to men.
And men, especially good men who are educated and ambitious, belong to God. This is also the catholic precept of abstinence.
Today, in our view, that kind of love but not being able to love is a destruction of human nature and a great torment for the person concerned.
We will never be able to understand how their youth is spent, how they dissolve the fire of love in the world, how to dissolve that emptiness and loneliness.
Mirabell Palace and Mirabell Park, without the bishop and lover's love story, could be an ordinary European building and exquisite garden.
Because of the unrequited love between Bishop Wolff and Salome, it has made this place famous all over the world and attracted the world to visit and appreciate.
Wolff was bishop and ruler of Salzburg. Therefore, he has the ability and financial resources to build a palace and garden for his lover, and he and his lover have 15 children.
It also reminds me of the sixth Dalai Lama, Cangyang Gyatso, who was only a religious leader, not a person in power, and the love between Cangyang Gyatso and his beloved lover was fruitless.
Cangyang Gyatso still ruined his future and his life, leaving only love poems that have been passed down from generation to generation.
We were in Salzburg and only walked around Mirabell Park
It was still snowing the day before, and when I entered the park, it was indeed green grass and flowers.
The flowers here are continuous throughout the year, and after a while, people replace the withered flowers.
Tourists come to greet you with flowers that bloom forever, and flowers seem to be undefeated testimonies of love.
Due to maintenance, we did not enter mirabell Palace to visit, and when we came here, it felt like an ordinary park.
It was only the love story of the Surprise Cardinal and the beauty Salome that left a deep impression.
I came back to Mirabell Park, and although a few days had passed, the memory in my brain was still blurred.
In fact, going around and around, I feel that there is no big thing in the world, no need to pursue shocking customs, no need to think about gorgeous clothes, time will make everything become a smoke cloud.
Ordinary life is the best life!
There is a group of statues in each corner of the garden
