Book excerpt: The Church Blessing festival was an important celebration in many villages of the Danube Swabians. It was just one of the ways in which they kept their distinctive German heritage alive as they established themselves in strange and sometimes harsh lands, first in the Austria-Hungary region and then as they migrated to America. The author recalls taking part in her first Kirchweih, and illustrates the tradition with her own beautiful copper-plate prints.
