For Easter, the Archdiocese of Salzburg has put together an extensive package that has various offers for celebrating and creating at home.
SALZBURG. With this Sunday, Palm Sunday, the last week of Lent begins. On the State Bridge there are ten palm bushes that are around 3.5 meters high and weigh around 90 kilograms including the pot. The mighty palm trees send Easter greetings to the people of Salzburg and indicate that Easter is coming soon. Palm Sunday is considered by Christians to be the day on which Jesus entered Jerusalem. The population of that time is said to have scattered green branches in his honor. Veronika Schmeikal also has brightly decorated palm trees ready, which she sells in town. The gardener has put on the Palm Sunday butterfly next to the cash desk. Matthias Hohla, advisor for ecumenism and spirituality in the archdiocese, is responsible for this. He contacted florists and sent them the folder explaining the tradition of tying and carrying palm trees.
Celebrate Palm Sunday differently
Anyone in possession of a palm bush can have it consecrated on Palm Sunday from 9:30 a.m. on Domplatz. Those who are unable to do so can consecrate the palm trees themselves. How to do that, you can >>here<< lesen. Auf der website There are also many suggestions for the family, such as a recipe for palm pretzels that can be baked with the family. In addition, many craft ideas are supplied, such as one Easter flower or an Easter quiz.
Set off at Easter
Hermann Signitzer is responsible for pilgrimages and pastoral care in tourism in the Archdiocese of Salzburg. “We’re sending people on a special Easter walk this year,” he says. On the page anywaynah.at/ostern you can find, among other things, reflective hiking ideas and impulses. In the project “Emmausgang“Instead of large groups of pilgrims, individual Salzburg residents consciously go for a walk that can be accompanied by impulses on the website as a sound recording. One of the suggested routes starts from the Müllner Church, down the stairs to the Salzach and to the Bible World “Admission word: Emmingang” speaks, even receives free entry into the Bible world. Using Facebook or WhatsApp, everyone can share their pictures and impressions made on the “journey” with others.
