Special guided tour: Christmas at Rein Abbey, family tour

Angels, the Holy Family, and the Christmas story are at the center of a special family tour at the Stift Rein. On Saturday, the 12th of December, the basilica will become the scene of a joint exploration of the biblical Christmas story.

During a tour of the Stiftsbasilika in Gratwein-Straßengel, children and adults will follow the traces of the angels. Together, they will discover depictions of the Holy Family and learn about the connection between the high altar and the Christmas festival. The familiar story surrounding the birth of Jesus will be explored through the art and religious representations in the basilica.

The tour combines the engagement with the Christmas story with a creative conclusion. After the tour, families will collaboratively create a nativity scene. Each participant is invited to bring their own figurine for the nativity, which can of course be taken home after the event.

The family tour offers the opportunity to get to know Stift Rein from a Christmas perspective during the Advent season. The basilica, with its religious artworks, provides the framework for engaging with the figures and symbols of the Christmas story.
