Martyrdom of Felix and Regula

In the 3rd century, Felix and Regula, siblings and members of a Roman legion stationed in Valais, fled to Zurich: not a stupid thing seeing as the legion had been defeated and was to be executed en masse. Unfortunately they were Christians, and in Zurich they were tried for refusing to pray to the Roman gods. This time they didn’t get away and were decapitated on the site of today’s Wasserkirche in the Neiderdorf.

The main train station in Zurich it the largest public hall in Europe. On Saturday July 5th, they will have installed 400m2 of quality wooden flooring so the estimated 6’000 people attending this free event can dance is style. Plus as they say on their website, the Midsummer Night's Ball is the only ball with it’s own train station.
