As you glance over today"s photo of the trees changing color in the Thuringian Forest in Germany, make note of the castle in the distance. That"s Wartburg, a castle built in the Middle Ages that holds significance to Christians. It was the home of St. Elizabeth of Thuringia (aka St. Elizabeth of Hungary), and later, where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German while in exile. Wartburg is the area"s most popular tourist attraction and has been recognized for its quintessential medieval architecture.
