No no......I am not turning religious. Just bear with me for a second and read further on.
Woke up early this morning, packed my cameras and jumped into car (faith is a journey, right) and drove out to the countryside. Looking for churches!! Yes churches.
Today is a religions holiday - Fronleichnam (+) A public holiday in Austria and Catholic parts of Germany, Switzerland; Thursday following Trinity Sunday (the Sunday after Pentecost)
This is a day of celebration with processions and parades. Streets are cleaned and flags and tons of flower sadorn the churches and streets. Flowers, that's my interest.
I was too late for the processions and parades but the 'flower carpets' were still there. These are 'carpets' of flowers. Usually all done by women from the church community.Village - Winterstettenstadt (school)
Village Hochdorf
Hochdorf church
Steinhausen - This is a well known barock church for pilgrims. Surprisingly there was no 'carpets' but in the afternoon, there would be a concert.
