Corpus Christi in Neustadt: Brass music and Prosecco inspire everyone!

Corpus Christi in Neustadt: Brass music and Prosecco inspire everyone!

Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Deutschland - On Wednesday evening the Corpus Christi celebration took place in Neustadt in a very special way. The decades of tradition of the tapping of the Zapfen, which was eliminated in the previous year due to unfortunate circumstances, was replaced this year by a series of stand concerts that were under the motto "Music and conviviality". The Kulturfreunde Lobkowitz and the city chapel Neustadt ensured that the citizens could also come to a solemn atmosphere this year. According to Oberpfalzecho.de , both District Administrator Andreas Meier and city pastor Thomas Kopp showed themselves as the active supporter of this initiative.

The event started with the first stand concert on the hospice on Felixberg, where the brass music delighted the audience for about 30 minutes. Afterwards the second concert took place in Freyung, where Fabio Bruner from Pizzeria Gino organized a spontaneous Prosecco offer. To the crowning glory, the third concert was carried out in front of the picturesque Lobkowitz locks, in which district administrator Meier and his daughter were also present. Pastor Kopp did not miss the opportunity to reach for the trumpet and to get involved musically.

A look into the future

The positive response from the guests already let the anticipation for next year grow. Bernhard Knauer from the cultural friends Lobkowitz expressed the desire to repeat the stand concerts next year in order to continue the tradition of the Corpus Christi celebrations in Neustadt. "We just enjoyed it!" Said Knauer. This is a good sign that the community comes together and that the traditions that connect us continue to be cared for.

Corpus Christi not only has musical but also deeper religious roots. In the Catholic tradition, this holiday is about the solemn thank you for the "living bread", as Jesus describes in the Bible. The message that Jesus gives his meat to nourish and redeem humanity plays a central role here. This becomes particularly clear when we remember that those who eat from this bread will have eternal life. katholisch.at emphasizes how important the spiritual solemnity of the Corpusnam is, which particularly pays attention to the sacrament of the Eucharist.

The initiative to celebrate the Corpus Christi celebration in this way shows how important culture and community in Neustadt are and that new ways can be found in difficult times to keep traditions alive. The anticipation for the continuation of these celebrations next year makes the common spirit of Neustadt shine and is a sign of cohesion in the community.
