Burgenland marks St Martin’s Day with church events

Churches across Burgenland will hold special services for the state holiday on 11 November, with the Diocese of Eisenstadt organising several events, ORF reported.

Events include a service at Haus St Martin for older and sick people, as well as a night-time prayer vigil at Eisenstadt’s Martinsdom cathedral. The main church celebration will be a festive Mass at the cathedral on 11 November.

This year also marks 70 years since Stefan Laszlo was ordained bishop at the Martinsdom. He was the first bishop of Burgenland and played a key role in establishing the Diocese of Eisenstadt.
