Peace light from Bethlehem: Fire brigade youth brings hope to Amstetten!

In the district of Amstetten, the peace light from Bethlehem will be distributed by the committed fire brigade youth on December 24, 2024. District fire brigade commander Rudolf Katzengruber and district clerk youth, Carina "Caro" Kampner, are happy about the commitment of the young fire brigade members who bring the radiant symbol of peace from door to door in times of global conflicts. This honorable commitment should not only bring hope, but also hope to the hearts of people, as fireworld.at reported.

Peace light will be distributed worldwide from the twin city of Bethlehem in the Upper Austrian Steyr this year. The fire brigade youth will be active in various towns from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and there is also the possibility to pick up the light directly in several fire brigade houses, such as bfk-amstetten.at . This tradition has its roots in an ORF campaign from 1986, which was intended as thanks to donors, which supported the ORF campaign "Light into the Dark" for children with impairments. Since then, the peace light has developed into a heart -warming symbol that embodies the desire for peace and community.

distribution on Christmas Eve

In many communities, the peace light on Christmas Eve, December 24th, is extended by the fire brigade youth. The valuable custom should represent a worldwide sign of longing for peace. District fire brigade commander Katzengruber emphasizes that despite all the global conflicts, this action is a sign of peace in the small and large. The fire brigade youth will actively distribute the light in Preinsbach, Meilersdorf, Rems and many other places or enable people to pick it up in the fire station.

The fire brigade youth thus shows their commitment to the community and the important concern of peace, while it spreads the festive atmosphere on Christmas Eve. This initiative is greeted with enthusiasm and gratitude by the residents of the Amstetten district, as it embodies hope of better cooperation.
