Fastenkrippe Zirl

Name: Fastenkrippe Zirl Description: Lent is crib season: A typical custom that is carefully celebrated in Zirl is the arrangement of the crib mountain. In the parish church, where the characterful Christmas crib can be admired during the pre-Christmas season, many carved figures populate the traditional spot during Lent. They make the Fastenkrippe (Lenten crib) an eye-catcher for guests and locals. The church on Kalvarienberg also houses a Fastenkrippe – but with painted paper figures that remain on display until after Easter. Outside of Lent, the Parish Church of the Holy Cross and the Local History and Crib Museum with their informative offerings are worth a visit.
