Charity in focus: Lantern Festival inspires Ramsauer kindergarten children

In Ramsau, the lantern festival, which focused on St. Martin, was recently celebrated. Pastor Slavomir Dlugos made this important figure tangible with a small, vivid lesson for the children of the local kindergarten. "You can always share when you have the will," he explained to the little guests, making the message of St. Martin, who shared his coat with a freezing beggar. This history of charity should not only be preserved in tradition, but also planted in the hearts of the children.

Numerous children, namely 20, moved into the church with their shining lanterns. Accompanied by the musical direction of the pedagogical director of the kindergarten, Isabella Wurth, they sang happy songs. The atmosphere was fulfilled with joy when poems were performed and a little game was performed that followed the encounter between St. Martin and the beggar. The performances were very well received by the numerous parents, grandparents and other visitors and received a lot of applause.
