Luther was horrified when the plebs started smashing up the art. I was raised in a Lutheran church and all there was was the windows - the heathen!!
GREAT choral though.
That said the veneration of saints isn't part of my belief.
Dondillion I was fortune enough to attend a Ukrainian Orthodox service a few years back. I enjoyed the... over the topness? not exactly but kindof (sorry), pomp and ceremony? - it was impressive. I also liked how the Priest would occasionally turn to the parishioners and bark 'Pay attention!'
I agree the art of the old Churches are incredible!
