Harvest Festival in Erlstätt: Thanks, Community, and Blessing in the Open Air
With silent joy and open hearts, the spiritual community of the parish gathers to thank God for the gifts of creation. This faith experience brings together young and old and strengthens the religious experience in the rhythm of the church year.
Liturgy and Tradition: Thanks for the Gifts of Creation
In the Catholic service for the harvest festival, prayers, readings, and intercessions focus on the preservation of creation. Traditionally, fruits, bread, and a harvest crown adorn the altar; gift baskets can be brought for blessing. The liturgy invites reflection and connects theology, lived spirituality, and concrete love for one's neighbor.
Sensory Impressions: Autumn Colors, Calm Atmosphere
Between ripe grain and colorful autumn leaves, a calm, contemplative mood is created. The scent of bread and fresh fruit, the quiet communal prayer, and the singing of the congregation create a strong sense of community.
Community on Site: Parish St. Peter and Paul in the Thale Erlstätt
The Holy Francis of Assisi parish association supports the festival pastorally. Locally, staff and volunteers are engaged: the parish office, church administration, and community circles maintain a vibrant practice of faith with services, pilgrimages, and educational offerings.
