Saint Michael's Parish
 |
| The window the Archangel Saint Michael in Vaxjo. |
Our journey starts from the catholic church of Saint Michael in Vaxjo. During the spring of 1999 a new window with the archangel Michael was put up in the staircase that leads up to the new gallery in the church. The window was created by the glass-artist Winfried Baier in Tranas after the old original window from the church of Saint Anne; the Passionist fathers' first church in England.
St Paul of the Cross 1694-1775, who founded the Passions order, had during a critical moment in his life a revelation of the Archangel Saint Michael. Since then St. Michael is one of the Passions order’s most important patron saints. That is why it is common to find images of the archangel Michael in the churches of the Passionist fathers. Because the Passionists have founded the catholic parish in Vaxjo, it has St Michael the Archangel as it's patron saint.

The first sanctuary consacrated to the Archangen Saint Michael we come to is situated in "Ober Österreich"; in the northern part of Austria. Saint Michael's Parish in Hohenzellis a sister-parish to us, which has contributed to the crucifix of our cemetery.
