Comments

(en) The building of St. Oswald's Church began in the city of Zug in 1478 thanks to the proceeds from the Burgundian Wars. St. Oswald became the King of Northumbria in 634. He was killed by the Mercians at the Battle of Maserfield in 642 and his body was dismembered. Oswald’s icon is the black raven, which legend says carried off his right arm to an ash tree, then dropped it. Where it struck the ground, a healing spring burst forth. The church claims that one of St. Oswald's arms was brought to Zug in 1485.
