How to Say 'Peace Be With You' in German

Whenever I travel, I like to adapt to the environment that I am in. I try to learn a few key phrases in the native language.

I try to learn a few prayers which come in handy when you are going to mass in another country.

Be it for a family gathering, a wedding, or even a funeral, praying in another language is amazing. It feels deeply spiritual and connects you with the people who came before us.

In case you missed it, here is the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) in German.

Here is how to offer a sign of peace in German for a Catholic mass:
