Praying and singing – musically accompanied by the music band breitenbach – the pilgrims went on their way in the early morning already at 4 a.M.45 o’clock. Carried by a wide variety of meditation texts, prayers and songs, walking could once again be experienced as a spiritual event.
A tough challenge
Via bad bruckenau and volkers we went to speicherz, and after a rest we climbed maria ehrenberg via the baroque staircase, which was a sweat-inducing challenge in the high summer temperatures. Here was honored at 10.30 p.M. The pilgrimage service is celebrated together with many other believers from the home communities.
