Memorial Mass and Memorial Service with Bishop Hermann Glettler
On the evening of December 31, a memorial ceremony for the 477 deaths by crown in Tyrol took place in Innsbruck. But it was also thought of those whose adoption in the year Corona 2020 was only possible in a small group. Governor Günther Fountain invited at 3pm – along with Bishop Hermann Glettler – under the guiding principle “With the light of confidence in the new year 2021“To a memorial mass in the Georgskapelle of the old country house.

With the light of confidence in the new year 2021
“Today we are going to light 477 candles together in memory of the Tyrolean victims of the corona pandemic. 477 Tyrolese died from a virus that came as a complete surprise to our world and caused endless suffering. Because it was just Because of the crown possible to say goodbye in a small circle, many Tyrolean families had to bury their relatives without the consoling sympathy of family, friends and the entire village community. With this public commemoration, we say to all those in mourning that they have lost loved one: They are not alone. We are all with you in silent sympathy. Memorial candles are a visible sign of this: they illuminate New Year’s Eve and should accompany us in New Year 2021 as a light of confidence, “says Günther Platter.
“For the 2020 crown year, which is drawing to a close, the count of the unfinished and unresolved is still too great. Therefore, we want to remember together, name what has been left open and also give a place to the duel. At the same time, we want to send a sign of appreciation for people who have exceeded their commitment to others. 2020 will remain in our memory. With a light of trust and trust in God, we look at all that is to come, supported by the conviction that there is a reliable coexistence in our country “(Bishop Hermann Glettler)
Superintendent of the Evangelical Superintendent of Salzburg and Tyrol Olivier Dantine: “We are discussing measures and we expect an improvement in the situation, accompanied by a mesmerized look at numbers and curves. However, with all this, we must never forget that personal destinies are behind the numbers. The turn of the year is a good opportunity to show our solidarity with all those who have lost a loved one in the pandemic. At the same time, the outlook for the new year must be realized in the hope that this pandemic with all its direct and indirect consequences can be overcome in solidarity. “
“Today we send a symbol of remembrance to all those who died in the exceptional year 2020 and we want to encourage their families with it. In general, the past year was very challenging, but it also showed us that we can achieve a lot together, because together we are for each other. I also see this positive outlook in the country for the New Year and I wish everyone in Tyrol the best ”. (Social Counselor Gabriele fischer)
