Night of the Living Dead
as Catholic youth of Burgenland (Austria) gather for a "Spiritual Chill Out". There is a low murmered chant of "Please release me from the "spirit" of Vatican II".
In another part of Burgenland, which is the border region to Hungary, they are introducing the young to the veneration of the hand "god".
The hand god has to be constantly appeased
The Mass ends with a magnificent procession of a balloon.
As an alternative to travelling to far-away Australia for World Youth Day,these young people will probably be crossing Hungary to pay a visit to some friends in Transylvania.

It may be due to my failing eyesight, but did I notice two properly dressed nuns in the congregation? Had they perchance wandered into the wrong church?
The balloon was lovely!
