Christmas at Nigredo Monastery – Silence, Light and Contemplation

Nigredo Monastery opens its doors at Christmas to guests who wish to celebrate the holiday in silence and awareness. In a time when external hustle and bustle and inner longing are often far apart, the monastery invites you to experience Christmas in its original meaning – as a festival of light, birth, and inner transformation.

Those who yearn for a place of reflection, prayer, and community over the holidays are warmly welcome to spend Christmas at Nigredo Monastery.

The stay includes periods of meditation, communal prayer, readings, walks, and attendance at services in the village church.

Guests are invited to embrace the rhythm of the house – with morning silence, shared meals, and evenings around the fire.

Here, the family festival can be celebrated in a broader sense – as a communion of souls, as a connection between people who are searching for the inner Christ. Thus, Christmas becomes a festival of the heart, sustained by simplicity, devotion, and light.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5)

Guests are warmly invited to stay for individual days or for the entire holiday.

Space is limited, so please register early.
