Stern singers bring blessings and solidarity to Western Pomerania!

On January 8, 2025, an important event took place in Stralsund: Mayor Alexander Badrow (CDU) received the star singers, who were disguised as the three kings. This children's solidary action is regarded as the world's largest solidarity campaign by children for children.

A total of 20 children from the Evangelical and Catholic Stralsund parishes took part in the blessing of the Stralsund town hall. The inscription "20 * C + M + B + 25" could be read with chalk over the front door of the anteroom to the Löwenschen Hall. The star singers collect donations for children in Romania, Indonesia and the Catholic children's mission. Another visit to the Sternsinger in the Greifswald town hall took place on Wednesday afternoon, as ndr.de reported.
