Legend of St. Christopher
In the Goslar Cathedral, of which now but a small remnant remains, once existed a colossal wooden statue of this renowned Saint with the Christ-Child on his back.
St. Christopher once walked from Goslar to Halberstadt and Harzburg, and on the way shook on the ground a pea which had got into his shoe.
The pea grew, and became the sandstone rock called the Clus.
The interior of the rock was hewn into a chapel to the Virgin, which was a shrine of great celebrity.
A Schloss once stood on the Clus, traces of which are still to be seen.
