more information

In the tradition of the hunger cloths, a work by Brigitte Schwacke covers the altar of the church. This reflection on Jesus' path to the cross has had an effect on our timeline with this artistic intervention. The artwork created as altarpiece wrappings become part of the liturgy of the churches on the one hand, and on the other hand they are freely accessible to the public.
