Praying Hands

Answer the following questions

♦ Why was it tough to keep food on the table for the Durer family?
It was tough to keep food on the table for the Durer family because they had eighteen children. The father, a goldsmith, had to work almost eighteen hours a day and take on any other paying job he could find to support his large family. Despite his hard work, providing for such a big family was a significant challenge.

♦ Why did the brothers decide to toss a coin?
The brothers decided to toss a coin to determine which one would go to the Academy to study art and which one would work in the mines to support the other. This was their way of making a fair decision about who would get the opportunity to pursue their dream first. The loser of the coin toss would work in the mines to earn money for the other brother's education.

The Durer family celebrated Albrecht's return with a festive dinner on their lawn. The meal was filled with music and laughter, creating a memorable and joyous occasion.
