Tradition:
The Celebration of the Heart of Jesus

Bright fires, on hilltops, peaks and hills, light up the night on Sacred Heart Sunday. When Napoleonic troops brutally tried to conquer the country in 1796, people entrusted themselves to the “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. Should the Tyrolean troops return victorious from battle, the oath would be renewed year after year. The Tyroleans not only defeated the French, but also the Bavarians under Andreas Hofer, and also emerged victorious from the Battle of Bergisel. Since then, the oath has been renewed year after year on 21 June.
