Austria’s 16 churches and religious societies agreed on Monday that public services will be suspended. This was announced by the Minister of Culture Susanne Raab (ÖVP). However, places of worship remain open for personal prayers, for example.
This rule applies from Tuesday to December 6. There was also a video conference from Raab on Monday with representatives of legally recognized churches and religious communities. The Roman Catholic and Evangelical Churches had previously announced that they would suspend all services during this time. The practice of religion is expressly permitted by the government, but religious communities imposed voluntary measures to curb the number of corona infections. Churches are open for personal prayer during the day.
“Still close” on lockdown
At the beginning of the second blockade, the Archdiocese of Salzburg reactivated the #trotzdemnah platform. All church offerings are listed on the online portal, and church services are also offered in the live stream. The Archbishop of Salzburg, Franz Lackner, is delighted with the initiative: “God is close to us, especially in times of deprivation and resignation. With all that we cannot do now, should not a space be opened for new possibilities? need”. there is grace. The forces are grouped in a heart full of longing. ”

The archbishop turns hopeful towards the people: “This is the moment of the small posters: a friendly assent, the lighting of a candle or the ringing of bells that call us to prayer: we are connected.”
