Just in front of this church there is the largest German cemetery of World War Two, and also a Peace Park nearby. For Sacred Murals Studio it was necessary to make the the Holy Face of Our Lady and all the figures to be well visible from the footsteps of the entrance, and also from a very long distance - from the cemetery and Peace park, and besides, to make the monumental image become active visual center of all the church ensemble.
In present days this mural decoration with it's bright and vivid colours attracts views of all the visitors of Peace Park and the german cemetery. Besides, this fresco mural is an excellent example of weather-resistance of TrueFresco technology - for two years now it stays outside, under wind, rain and snow, and it is not damaged at all.
