Freiburg / Rottenburg (dpa / lsw) - Citizens will receive the blessing of the carol singers at the turn of the year this time due to the Corona rules in all probability with a mask and disinfectant - but maybe without singing.

“In general, the carol singers are not allowed to enter apartments.

And singing is only allowed if the minimum distance can be maintained, ”explained a spokesman for the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese.

If it is not possible to sing, only the saying should be said.

The Kindermissionswerk presented a hygiene concept and guidelines for the groups.

"It is very important for the Kindermissionswerk that the carol-singing groups are always accompanied by an older youth or adult who also has disinfectant with him," the spokesman said.

In addition, there are considerations as to how the campaign can come to people without an actual visit.

However, the work of the more than 20,000 children and young people in the Archdiocese of Freiburg alone cannot simply be relocated to the Internet, emphasized a spokeswoman there.

The Archdiocese is currently offering, among other things, digital workshops so that those involved can exchange ideas.

"As in every year, the local communities have a lot of freedom and creative freedom - but of course also a lot of responsibility."

However, it is still unclear which legal framework will apply at the beginning of January.

"The common goal of all those involved is to carry out an infection-proof and beneficial caroling campaign in early January," said the spokeswoman.

"Because especially in the current situation there are young people in many parts of the world who depend on our solidarity and our donations."

Traditionally, carol singers go door to door to bring blessings.

You leave the blessing C + M + B on the front doors.

This stands for the Latin phrase "Christ
