Sternberg: some more "HUNGERCLOTHS"


Das Kirchlein von Sternberg, steht hoch auf einem Huegel, auf welchem Ausgrabungen
auf eine Besiedlung um 1,500 Jahre befor Christus schliessen lassen.

The little church of Sternberg sits high atop a hill. Excavations there allow the assumption
of this area having been settled about 1,500 years bC.


As many other churches in Carinthia, so hides the Church of Sternberg
its main altar from the congregation's view by hanging a richly decorated,
so-called "Hunger cloth" in front of the main altar.

A closer view of the "hunger cloth".
To see it properly you really should enlarge this image by clicking on it.
