Sternsinger give hope: traditional for children in Nepal!

St. Pölten, Österreich - recently the Sternsinger visited the Lower Austrian country house and brought their blessing in the presence of Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner. In this traditional ceremony, which took place shortly after the Epiphany, Mikl-Leitner emphasized the importance of Christian tradition and solidarity, which is expressed. "The star singing is a Christian tradition in which our compatriots demonstrate their charity and solidarity every year," she emphasized. This initiative is supported by around 22,500 children and adolescents who moved from house to house in the last few days to collect donations for children in the global south, especially in Nepal.

Important message of solidarity

The governor thanked the participants and emphasized the support of the star singers, who serve as a model for commitment and sense of community. "A big thank you to all Lower Austrians who support this valuable work of the star singing campaign and thus contribute to their great success," said Mikl-Leitner. This year the campaign focuses particularly on child protection and education for young people in Nepal, which underlines the importance of the initiative in an international context, as well as meinzirk.at reported.

The governor also warned of the risk of denying traditional customs from misunderstood tolerance. She demands a proud celebration of our traditions to strengthen the identity and cohesion of the community. "We are not allowed to hide our traditions and customs like the‘ Heavy Drei Kings ’, but with pride, dedication and passion," she added. These words reflect the intentions of the star singers who not only offer help through their actions, but also promote social cohesion in society, as it OE24.at emphasized.
