The St-Justin team is delighted to invite you and your loved ones to enjoy some wonderful moments together during the festive season. There are lots of new things to enjoy this year, including:

– The Christmas crib, enhanced this year by Boris Dennler, an internationally renowned artist from Fribourg, who describes his approach as follows: “A simple blue disc, symbolising the divine brought down to earth, with the sacred fire of birth at its centre. A freely composed scene where all living beings are equal. A museum-quality art installation that highlights the work of wood sculptors Ferdinand Stuflesser and his magnificent timeless pieces from St-Justin.”

– The wishing tree lights up the heart of the city of Fribourg as a symbol of hope. Everyone is invited to make a wish between now and 4 January, using the materials provided on site. Inaugurated on Saint Nicholas Day on 5 December, which brought together around a hundred people for an enchanted evening, this tree is a symbol of intercultural encounters.

– The glass canopy, complete with a table and lights, also installed in the garden at the heart of the Cité, allows everyone to come and share a drink, a chat or even a fondue with friends, or simply find the materials to write their wish before hanging it on the Christmas tree.

OUR NEXT EVENT

– Epiphany, on Sunday 4 January, will be an opportunity to enjoy galette des rois and tea after the 4pm Mass, during which blessings and prayers will be given.
