Peace Light Arrives in Austria for Christmas
The Peace Light has arrived in Austria for the Christmas season. Blessed by Pierbattista Cardinal Pizzaballa in Bethlehem, it will be presented in several ORF broadcasts. Florian Mitter and Thomas Schmuck will present the light in key events, including the 'Gala für Licht ins Dunkel' and the 'Adventsfest der 100.000 Lichter'.
The Peace Light's journey began in Bethlehem, where Cardinal Pizzaballa emphasized its symbolic power, stating that it carries a significant message from a 'wounded land'. Since 1986, this tradition has brought the light from Bethlehem to Austria and then to many other countries.
Governor Thomas Stelzer praised the Peace Light as a symbol of responsibility, especially in times of crises and wars. The light arrived in Austria aboard a scheduled Austrian Airlines flight. Klaus Obereder, regional director of ORF Upper Austria, described the Peace Light as a powerful symbol of hope and solidarity, particularly in the current geopolitical climate.
