Processions in Villanders

n Villanders, processions are an integral part of the village’s religious and cultural life. On special church holidays such as Pentecost, Sacred Heart Sunday, the Assumption of Mary and Rosary Sunday, the village community walks through the village after Holy Mass. The Corpus Christi procession already takes place on Saturday: after Holy Mass in the courtyard of Gravetsch Castle, the procession leads to the parish church of Villanders. The traditional celebrations are accompanied by the Villanders music band and the “Anton von Gasteiger” Schützen company, lending the event a dignified and atmospheric setting.
