Easter Monday celebration

Kirche und MZA Wald AR, Wald AR

From the Schulhausplatz, the tambourines lead the way to the church, where the celebration and theater take place. Afterwards, an Easter brunch is offered in the MZA.

Easter Monday celebrations have a long tradition here in Wald. The annual school celebration began on the school playground, from where the pupils marched to the church singing Easter hymns, preceded by the village band. The elaborate Easter scriptures, painstakingly written by the children with goose quills and ink, were already hanging there. These were then read out by the priest and the school governors. After the sermon, the children performed the songs they had practiced to the delight of all the parents, relatives and villagers.

This occasion is still celebrated in a very similar way today, with the visitors marching from the school playground, led by the tambourines, to the church. The celebration takes place in the village, with the schoolchildren's drama as the main attraction. After a short march to the multi-purpose facility, a varied Easter brunch awaits the guests. The event is accompanied by music from the "Trogener Brise" trio.
