Where does the ashes come from for the cross that is offered to the faithful on Ash Wednesday? What fasting resolutions did Benno Elbs, Bishop of Feldkirch, make and how difficult is it for him to keep them? And why Sundays are not part of Lent, but still not allowed to be celebrated, the priest reveals that and more in the ‘Krone’ interview.
“crown”: Bishop, have you celebrated carnival well in recent days?
Bishop Benno Elbs: I celebrated very subdued and watched a carnival show on television once or twice. “Narishly good” was there. A fixed point for me on Shrove Tuesday is having lunch with the priests from Feldkirch.
