Anniversary pilgrimage: Pilgrims of hope move from Eichendorf to Haid
This year's anniversary pilgrimage of the parish association Eichendorf attracted many believers and took place on Friday, the commemoration day of St. Antonius.

The pilgrimage train was led by Father Joshy, who was wearing the pilgrim cross, while the club standard was held by Manfred Buchta and Sepp Winnerl.
a contemplative end
At the entrance to Haid, the pilgrims were welcomed by the bells of the pilgrimage church. After the pilgrimage, a sacred office took place in the fully occupied church at 8 p.m. Father Joshy blessed the candles brought with him as a sign of hope and spoke about the importance of pilgrimage that leaves selfishness and conflicts. The impressive ceremony closed with a final blessing after the Eucharistic celebration and the Haider pilgrimage prayer.
