Austrian Bishop Plays Mannequin on Catwalk

Last Friday night several dioceses in Austria held a so called "Long night of the churches" featuring different religious, cultural or culinary events.

The seminary of Graz diocese arranged an open-air fashion show in its courtyard. The seminarians presented clerical and liturgical dresses on a black, about 15 meters long catwalk. One seminarian came along in a beautiful baroque chasuble folding his hands like in prayer.

Graz Bishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl participated in the show walking over the catwalk in a white cassock. The anticlerical Austrian State TV ORF was allowed to film the event.
