TEARS: Christmas: A quiet offer for difficult holidays on Christmas Eve at the Elisabeth Hospital in Halle (Saale)
This Christmas Eve, St. Elisabeth Hospital in Halle (Saale) will host a quiet gathering for those struggling during the holidays. The event, called TEARS: Christmas, offers a space to reflect on emotions that festive celebrations often overlook.
The gathering begins at 3:00 PM on 24 December. Organised by the pastoral care teams from St. Elisabeth and St. Barbara Hospitals, it welcomes patients, their families, hospital staff, and anyone from the public seeking solace.
Attendees can share feelings like grief, loneliness, or illness in a supportive setting. No registration is needed, and entry is free. The event aims to acknowledge the challenges some face when holidays feel heavy. It provides an alternative to traditional celebrations—a moment of stillness instead of cheer.
St. Elisabeth Hospital opens its doors to all who need a pause this Christmas. The event runs without cost or formalities, ensuring anyone can attend. For some, it may become a place to find quiet comfort amid the season’s bustle.
