New altar cloth for Corpus Christi: A special moment in Freistadt

In Freistadt there is reason to be happy: The Goldhaubengruppe has designed a new altar towel for the upcoming Corpus Christi festival. The group's employees, under the direction of Annemarie Zeinlinger and chairwoman Anni Friesenecker, sewed and embroidered with a lot of dedication. Parish assistant Roland Altreiter is responsible for the spiritual accompaniment. The festive service, which is celebrated on Thursday, June 19, at 9 a.m. on the main square, has some highlights.

The new altar cloth, which shows the monstrance for the first time, is presented outdoors, while holy communion is carried through the streets. This procession is not only an important part of the festival, but also leads to the old people's home, where the seniors can also participate in the celebration. The design of the altar seek is a truly artistic hymn to the religious traditions of the parish, which shows a deep sense of community and celebrating the conviction.

The Corpus Christi festival in Freistadt

The Corpus Christi festival has a long tradition in Freistadt. It is celebrated as an expression of faith, which is particularly evident in the beautiful procession. In the Gospels, Jesus speaks of himself as the "lively bread" that came from heaven and invites the believers to eat from this bread to gain eternal life. A message that comes into play as part of this celebration.

As described in the gospel, Jesus attaches importance to the fact that nobody can get around the table and celebration of life without costs from him. The symbols in liturgical practice-like the new altar towel-the believers in the fact that the Eucharistic mysterium is closely linked to their daily life. It is remembered that the participation in Holy Communion has a deep connection to Jesus and other believers.

artists in focus

Thank you very much for the artists of the Goldhaubengruppe, who have worked with a lot of passion for this project. Your work is not only a visual profit, but also a strengthening of the community spirit. Art and Catholicism go hand in hand in Freistadt, and the new altar towel is a wonderful example of this.

Although the preparations for the festival are already in full swing, there are also practical tips for the heat of the previous days: The wood professional SECA from Ottensheim will offer a 10 percent discount on wood products by the end of June, which should delight many garden owners in the region.
