As I learned on the trip to Germany, a pieta is a piece of art featuring Mary and Christ. Most churches have at least one of these and there are a lot of different styles. We've seen wooden ones. Sculpture ones. And at one of the churches we went into in Dresden, there what was possibly the most interesting pieta: a Meissen porcelien abstract pieta!
As with the other churches, this one had gotten d
estroyed and rebuilt. I 
think I would have liked the church before the bombing because it had some wonderful paintings on the ceiling that have not been restored.
