Radebeul is the special site where Thomas S. Monson offered a prayer on the German Democratic Republic and its people. He relates, "On a Sunday morning, April 27, 1975, I stood on an outcropping of rock situated between the cities of Dresden and Meissen, high above the Elbe River, and offered a prayer on the land and its people...A plea for peace was expressed. Divine help was requested. I spoke the words: Dear Father, let this be the beginning of a new day for the members of Thy Church in this land." Suddenly, from far below in the valley, a bell in a church steeple began to chime and the shrill crow of a rooster broke the morning silence...At the conclusion of the prayer, I gazed heavenward. I noted a ray of sunshine which streamed from an opening in the heavy clouds, a ray which engulfed the spot where our small group stood. From that moment I knew divine help was at hand."
