Celebrating the Church, cemetery and beer

In case you haven't heard, there's a big Catholic celebration going on in Leipzig. And it's happened literally 100 times before. But if the Church isn't your thing, you can still visit the lovely Südfriedhof Cemetery, which also has a big anniversary this week and special events to go with it. And you can also go and have a beer (or 10) at the Leipzig Beer Festival going on right next door, at the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. https://leipglo.com — The Südfriedhof Cemetery is turning 130 years old and throwing a bash.
