Mainz, Germany Christmas Market Mug (Stacey Elizondo)

Stacey Elizondo, thank you for this picture of a beautiful glass market mug from the historic Mainz Christmas Market. The market takes place in front of the 1,000-year-old Roman Catholic cathedral and will be held from Nov. 28–Dec. 23, 2024.

The cathedral square will be decorated with glimmering lights and will feature an eleven-meter-high Christmas pyramid, nine-meter-high music box, and life-size crib figures. For a break from shopping market stalls, visitors can also enjoy matinees and concerts in the cathedral. For a truly authentic Christmas card, check out the Gutenberg-Museum print shop.
