Charitable advent market in Hietzing: help feasting!

In Advent, Volkshilfe Hietzing launched an important action to help those in need. On the two days, December 7th and 9th 2024, durable foods are collected for families. The income of the annual Advent market of the Küniglberg settler association also goes to this good cause. "Hietzing may be a rich district, but poverty is also available here," emphasized Andrea Exler, chair of Volkshilfe Hietzing, and her deputy Juraj Verses. The market, which takes place on Friday and Saturday, December 6th and 7th, in the Elisabethalle 42a, offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy cooked food and homemade pastries while doing good at the same time.

Advent traditions and support for the needy

In addition to the food collection, the Advent market is used to finance Krampussackerl and shopping vouchers for needy families. Volkshilfe plans a special food edition before Christmas to give the families affected a piece of normalcy and joy. This campaign is supported by numerous volunteers who collect durable food every month to support the needy families.

In the run -up to Christmas, numerous customs bloom that celebrate the festival of the festivals and increase the anticipation for Christmas. Like Religions-zeckecken.de , many people enjoy traditions such as the Advent wreath, in which another candle is lit on every Advent Sunday to symbolize the light in the dark. These customs, which are practiced in many Christian households and communities, also include singing Christmas carols and the demonstration of nativity plays that represent the birth of Jesus. This festive mood is borne by lights that sparkle in windows and on the streets, which makes the anticipation for the upcoming festival.
