Freiburg / Auenwald (dpa / lsw) - Archbishop of Freiburg, Stephan Burger, focused on wars, crises and unrest in his Easter sermon on Sunday.

These left numerous people around the world living in insecurity and hardship, said Burger in the Freiburg Minster, according to a text that was distributed in advance.

While the corona pandemic depresses life in this country, it intensifies the existing misery even more in these already marked regions.

The Württemberg regional bishop Frank Otfried July recalled, according to a previously published text, "many farewells in this past year of the corona pandemic, including family members, friends and acquaintances."

The pandemic, the war, the hatred, the racism and the exclusion, the spite and the threat, the lie and the terror would not have the last word, said July in his festive service in the Peterskirche in Auenwald (Rems-Murr-Kreis) .
