Angelus Silesius

I had a nice day in Wroclaw today, first visiting the Panorama Racławicka (impressive) and then taking a stroll before meeting an acquaintance for some excellent soup at Zupa and a huge peppermint tea at Vinyl Cafe (both excellent).

It was on my stroll that I came across this statue in the Ossolineum Garden of the university. The statue is a tribute to Angelus Silesius.

An enthusiastic convert and priest, Silesius worked to convince German Protestants in Silesia to return to the Roman Catholic Church.
