Audible Advent calendar with thoughts on the Corona pandemic

The second Advent season that is "different" is upon us: The Corona pandemic still has massive effects on everyday life and thus also on the pre-Christmas season. The book "Advent trotz(t) Corona" from the series "Edition Denkbares" by Martin W. Ramb and Holger Zaborowski, which contains an impulse for each day of Advent, is now available as a free podcast under the title "Denkbares - A Podcast for Cultural Education" on all streaming platforms.

The topic of the pandemic and Christmas is addressed creatively and critically in 25 texts. What does Advent mean in the shadow of the Corona crisis? The Advent Calendar for the Ears deals with this question in personal reflections, social and political reflections or spiritual impulses. The authors include Abbot Primate Notker Wolf, Cardinal Kurt Koch and the Protestant theologian Margot Käßmann. The texts were recorded by the actor Christian Wirmer from Darmstadt.
