Advent Reading full of tradition, music, and quiet anticipation
During the Advent season, a space for reflection, faith experience, and living tradition opens up in the Maria-Seltmann-Haus.

Christmas images that make faith visible
The focus is on the nativity scene as a visible sermon, a spiritual sign of the incarnation, and a cultural memory of an entire region. Bertram Erhardt guides through this world of Advent with information, stories, and poems, also bringing the cherished Fatschenkindl in Bavaria into focus.
