Eschdorf priest Marco Wehles came up with the idea of getting residents to submit their creative offerings, including paintings and crafts, to replace the traditional Easter Sunday mass.

The residents in Eschdorf put together around 300 artworks to decorate the church for Easter, which were all displayed by Sunday.

De Paschtouer zu Eschduerf Marco Wehles hat eng Iddi
Well dëst Joer keng Ouschtermass kann zesummen an der Kierch gefeiert ginn, huet de Paschtouer d‘Awunner gefrot, fir eppes ze molen oder ze bastelen.
