Holy Night by Ludwig Thoma – Reading and Melodies in the Resurrection Church
In the quiet Advent season, the Evangelical-Lutheran Congregation Traunstein invites you to an experience of faith: The Christmas legend Holy Night by Ludwig Thoma rings out as a reading in the Resurrection Church. Spiritual community, peace, and reflection guide through the evening and open the view for the biblical Christmas story.
Atmosphere of Silence and Closeness
Under the neo-Gothic vault of the Resurrection Church, a contemplative, warm sound unfolds. Prayer, liturgy, and word combine into a religious experience that speaks to the heart and mind. Gentle candlelight, the acoustics of the church nave, and the calm recitation promote inner collection and a sense of community.
Tradition, Theology, and Dialect
Thoma's Holy Night relocates the Christmas story into the Bavarian way of life and emphasizes faith, humility, and love for one's neighbor in poetic language. This reading respectfully picks up the tradition and translates it into the present: Spirituality becomes audible, theological depth remains tangible.
Word and Music in Harmony
Reading: Georg Unterholzner. Music: Goaßara Schoilehra. With melodies by Roman Kofler. The melodies frame the verses and deepen the contemplative Advent atmosphere – music and text breathe together, as church music practice has always maintained.
Participation, Community, Pastoral Care
Admission is free. All interested parties – congregational members as well as guests – are welcome. Those seeking silence and spiritual enrichment will find space for faith, prayer, and encounters here. After the reading, there will be an opportunity for a brief exchange in the spirit of the Advent season.
