Successful Advent market in Klosterneuburg inspires visitors!

Klosterneuburg, Österreich - On the first weekend in Advent, Klosterneuburg experienced a festive highlight: The traditional advent market of the abbey parish attracted numerous visitors and converted the Binderstadl into a place of reflection and anticipation. The ceremonial opening took place on Saturday morning in the presence of Pastor Reinhard Schandl, Mayor Christoph Kaufmann and Vice Mayor Maria Theresia Eder. The opening was accompanied by the opening of the city chapel. The importance of the market was emphasized by those present, as well as the support of social projects by the purely proceeds of the market, such as meinbezirk.at reported.

at the market, which was open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., visitors were able to enjoy a variety of handmade products and culinary delights. Special features such as the popular punch, hearty buffet dishes as well as a generous donation in kind from the Oberlaa spa confectionery with Christstollen and gingerbread contributed to the festive atmosphere. The highlights of the supporting program were tours of the collegiate church and the impressive Advent concert of the city chapel, which took place under the direction of Luca Pelanda on Sunday, as the website of the collegiate parish at Stift-klosterneuburg.at described in detail.

Christmas mood and social responsibility

A special focus was on the liturgical design of the opening weekend, and a holy trade fair with Advent wreath blessing was celebrated. The musical framework was carried out by the historic wooden wind ensemble. The net proceeds are donated to various social institutions such as the St. Martin and Concordia social projects, which gives the event an additional dimension of community. Organizer Peter Jedlicka was proud of the high number of participants and the support that the Advent market of the Stiftpfarre received in Klosterneuburg, and promised that such events will continue to strengthen and delight the local community in the future.
