An effigy atop the tomb of St. Engelbert depicting a man dressed as a bishop reclining on his side with his head resting on his arm supported by his elbow. A cherub is arranging his robes.

Close up on the head and the arm of an effigy atop the tomb of St. Engelbert depicting a man dressed as a bishop reclining on his side with his head resting on his arm supported by his elbow.

While touring Cologne Cathedral on Friday, I came across the tomb of St. Engelbert. For a guy who was murdered in 1225 by his cousin while Archbishop of Cologne, he seems pretty nonchalant about the whole thing here on his tomb. #ChristmasInGermany25 #koelncathedral #koeln
