To mark the start of the Capital of Culture year, Christians have invited people on a journey of discovery in the region around Chemnitz. Many people are more familiar with it from negative headlines, said priest Gregor Giele in a Catholic service from Hohenstein-Ernstthal (Zwickau district), which was broadcast live on ZDF. "Our experience here on site is different."
In the sermon, he and the Capital of Culture representative of the Catholic Church, Ulrike Lynn, referred to the motto of the Capital of Culture year "C the Unseen". It invites us to perceive and learn to appreciate everything that lies hidden, said Lynn.
The C actually stands for the city of Chemnitz. However, Christians could also read it as an abbreviation for Christ, Lynn said. "Every path, every encounter of my day can become a search for traces of God's presence. I encounter the Lord in every person." He can actually be found hidden in everything with curiosity and attentiveness.
