Wiesenfest in Ipthausen: Pilgrims and traditions attract many visitors!

Ipthausen, Deutschland - The annual event in Ipthausen, the traditional meadow festival, attracted numerous visitors today. The festival was opened with a festive service, celebrated by Pastor Stephan Frank in the pilgrimage church of Mariä. In front of the backdrop of the picturesque church, which is located on Marienweg, numerous helpers ensured the physical well -being of the guests on the fairground around the church and the pilgrimage house. This small pilgrimage church is not only a place of reflection, but also attracts many pilgrims who are looking for prayer hearings for the Pieta Gnadenbild, a work of art from around 1650.

The pilgrimage church of Mariä birth has a long history. Until the 1960s there was a Maria Hilfsbruderschaft founded by local Capuchins. According to Waldemar Weber from a local chronicle, the pilgrims visit the image of grace to present their concerns. Visitors write their requests in a book that should give hope. Another highlight of the meadow festival was the random meeting of two experienced pilgrimages, Kilian Weigand and Günter Meißner.

an anniversary of the angels and pilgrimages

Günter Meißner celebrated a very special anniversary: ​​for the 30th time he led the Sulzfeld footwall drivers to Vierzehnheiligen and has already visited the basilica over 50 times. His honor from Würzburg Bishop Franz Jung visibly moved the pilgrim. "For me, pilgrimage is a matter close to my heart," said Meißner, while the applauding pilgrims gratefully recorded his story. He is supported by Kilian Weigand, who now heads the male pilgrimage of Bad Königshofen and enthusiastically reported on his first experiences as pilgrimage.

The pilgrimage church of Mariä birth in Rengersbrunn, which was built in 1777 and is a popular place for pilgrims, complements the pilgrimage circle in the region. The simple outer facade of the church has its own charm, and a Marienbrunnen in front of the main portal invites you to pause. Historical legends state that the pilgrimage to Rengersbrunn in 1460 began to discover a portrait of Mary. Numerous pilgrims, hikers and cyclists flock in this idyllic part of the Spessart forests every year.

a pilgrimage tradition in Bavaria

The pilgrimage history in Bavaria is therefore very important. Cities like Altötting, Andechs and Bogenberg are just a few of the well -known pilgrimage locations that attract people from near and far. In Bavaria, pilgrimages play an important role in cultural and religious life. You are not only a way to practice your faith, but also an opportunity for community and reflection.

Overall, the meadow festival in Ipthausen shows, which is associated with all of these traditions how deeply rooted faith in the region is. It remains to be hoped that pilgrimages will remain alive in the future and inspire people to set off to find comfort and hope.
