About This Item

This Travelbug belongs to the Cache Series "Pilger" which was created during a project with the Grammar School of the Abbey of Melk, Austria.

1000 years ag the corpse of Saint Kolornan was transferred to Melk, the residence of the ruling Babenberg farnily. Even though he was venerated as the patron of the country for centuries, we know surprisingly little about hirn. Supposedly, he was the son of an Irish king. On his pilgrimage to Jerusalem he was mistakenly accused of being a spy. Therefore, he was tortured and hanged.


Dieser Travelbug gehört zur Cache Serie "Pilger" die im Zuge eines Projektes des Stiftsgymnasiums Melk erstellt wurde.

Vor 1000 Jahren, im Jahre 1014, wurde der Leichnam des heiligen Koloman in die Babenbergerresidenz Melk überführt. Jahrhundertelang wurde er als Landespatron verehrt. Streng historisch gesehen wissen wir erstaunlich wenig über diesen Mann. Die meisten Quellen finden wir in Legenden und Erzählungen. Er soll ein irischer Königssohn gewesen sein. Auf der Pilgerfahrt nach Jerusalem wurde er in Stockerau 1012 als Spion verdächtigt, gefoltert und gehängt. Bald danach aber finden sich Quellen der Verehrung in liturgischen Büchern und Zeugnisse dafür, wie wichtig der erste Hausheilige der Babenberger, der ersten Herrscher Österreichs, für die Geschichte unseres Landes war und immer noch ist. Ihnen zur Seite ist der heilige Koloman in der Melker Stiftskirche bestattet und ist gegenwärtig, nach 1000 Jahren, immer noch Patron von Stift und Stadt Melk.

    Pusken left me with this TB in hopes that I might find a place for it in Paris before I go back home to Oslo tomorrow. Finding a big enough cache to hide it in might be a challange in this busy city, but I hope I will be able to move it closer to it's destination.

    Visited 5/13/2017 Pusken took it to Notre-Dame de Paris Île-de-France, France - 836.36 miles  Visit Log

    To Paris, as I hoped :-) The plan was to drop Pilger:Jerusalem myself, but I did not have much time to hunt for caches during my stay and I asked IdeaSunshine for help.

    The Parisians are really proud of their Notre-Dame de Paris and is a sacred place. I'm happy that the only cache I was able to take this Pilgrim to in Paris was the beautiful Notre-Dame de Paris. Bon voyage!
