Herz-Jesu Sonntag

On Sunday morning there was a religious procession in Sillian to celebrate The Sacred Heart of Jesus. It started from the church after mass, and wound through the town stopping at several stations for prayer, and then back to the church. There were soldiers, firemen, a band, and townspeople dressed in traditional Austrian Tracht (Lederhosen and Dirndeln). They carried several statues of the Virgin Mary & Jesus and banners. It was interresting to watch such an old tradition.
