Carnival blessing celebration: Couples experience the Jeckenblessing in Cologne!

If you're interested in an exciting tradition, mark your calendars for 11/11. in the calendar! On this day, the well-known carnival session begins in Cologne, which always brings a special atmosphere to the city. This year it will be special in the Christ Church at the Stadtgarten, where the Hätzjeföhl blessing office offers a unique opportunity for couples in love.

Under the leadership of Pastor Sebastian Baer-Henney, the church opens its doors for an event that appeals to young lovers and geeks alike. At a “Jeckensegen” couples can celebrate their love and be blessed in a festive carnival atmosphere. Whether with or without a civil marriage certificate, all love stories are welcome here. “The special thing about this event is that it is all about the Cologne attitude to life,” explains the priest.

A very special ritual

The couples who decide to have the blessing can expect a lovingly designed ritual. After a short preliminary discussion, the couples choose a Bible verse that is meaningful to them. They also have the opportunity to choose a Cologne song that will be played live. Around 15 minutes are planned for the ceremony, which creates an intimate and loving atmosphere. Anyone who would like to drop by spontaneously is warmly invited - but prior registration is also possible. Some couples have already signed up, while others are still thinking about it.

On the Hätzjeföhl website you will find further information about this special event, which combines music, blessings and an incomparable Cologne attitude to life - almost as if you were part of a living tradition.

Whether atmospheric celebrations or the lively atmosphere of the carnival session in Cologne - there is something for everyone here. If you have any questions or would like to find out more about the background, take a look at the website by Hätzjeföhl.

Cultural backgrounds of carnival

And while the carnival in Cologne begins with a lot of joy and celebration, there are also exciting stories to discover in other areas.

In the plot, Nai is captured by a mysterious woman, which leads to unforeseen challenges. Together with the clever thief Gareki, who has his own plans, he escapes and encounters a powerful government agency called the Circus. The series, which plays with complex themes and imaginative elements, has gained many fans since its release. Those interested can find out more about this at MyAnimeList.
