Comforting sounds: new Advent calendar from Weismantel inspires!
At a time when the darkness of winter grips many people, a ray of hope can only be needed. Cathedral Vicar Paul Weismantel has published his new evening Advent calendar for November 8, 2025, which is entitled “Comforting sounds in dark times”. [Mainfranken] reports that this calendar not only contains simple doors that can be opened, but also contains deep texts, prayers and impulses for Advent and Christmas. Weismantel, who has been sticking to this tradition with great commitment since 1988, has this time been inspired by Advent songs, because music has the power to touch people deeply.
A central aspect of this year's texts is the motif of consolation. “Real comfort brings calm, peace and confidence,” explains Weismantel. In a world that is often characterized by uncertainty, it is important to allow sadness and feel it without shame. For Christians, comfort comes from faith, which draws attention to beauty even in the darkness of life.
roots in childhood
The new Advent calendar is thematically shaped by well-known song beginnings that are intended to evoke memories of one's own childhood. [paul-weismantel] emphasizes that the melodies enchant everyday life with a special splendor and support the inner preparation for the solemnity of Holy Christmas. This idea is particularly important when you consider that Advent is meant to be a period of pause and reflection.
Enthusiastic feedback accompanied the publication of the calendar. Weismantel is pleased with the response and sees it as an enrichment to be able to share these wonderful lyrics and songs with others. The Advent calendar costs 1.60 euros and is not only available at the Würzburg Cathedral Info, but can also be ordered online.
