Advent candlelight walk through the church

The Advent season shines in St Gereon with a very special tradition: the Advent candlelight walk. This impressive event combines history, culture and spirituality and offers a candlelit journey through the ornate mosaics and architecture of one of Cologne's most important churches. The Candlelight Walk stands for an encounter with Cologne's living history and invites you to rediscover the emotional depth of the Christmas season in the midst of the twilight nave. The church of St Gereon, whose origins date back to early Christianity, functions here as a harmonious symbiosis of past and present, emphasising the significance of the site in the city's history. This event is a reminder of society's responsibility for the heritage of religious and cultural traditions, while at the same time offering space for personal contemplation. The Advent Candlelight Walk in St Gereon is more than just an event - it is an invitation to reflect on values and community spirit in an atmospheric setting that merges time and space.
