Sunny skies greet worshippers

Luxembourg's Catholic community gathered en masse in Greveldange on Wednesday to pray for the Assumption under sunny skies.

The Feast of the Assumption, which takes place every August 15, is a chance for people of the Catholic faith to honour the Virgin Mary with processions.

It was the 28th time that Greveldange had hosted the celebrations, beginning with a High Mass by Archbishop Jean-Claude Hollerich.

The service was followed by a harvest festival called the "Léiffrawëschdag" where worshippers enjoy local Luxembourgish dishes and play music.
