Epiphany Singers at the Federal Ministry of the Interior – Epiphany Singing for Children’s Rights
On January 16, 2025, the traditional Epiphany singing took place at the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Berlin. Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser welcomed the children and young people from the parish of St. Agnes in Berlin-Charlottenburg to the ministry. The blessing of the ministry by the Epiphany singers is a long-standing tradition that has been practiced in Berlin since 1959.
This year, the Epiphany singers were particularly concerned with the rights of children. In their songs and prayers, they emphasized the importance of education, healthcare, and protection for children worldwide. Federal Minister Faeser assured the children that she would continue to support children’s rights both nationally and internationally.
“Every child has the right to a safe and healthy life, to education and to participation,” said Faeser. “Protecting children’s rights is a top priority for me.”
The Epiphany singers are children and young people from various parishes in Germany who go from house to house on January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany. They sing songs and collect donations for children in need around the world. In 2023, the Epiphany singers collected over 50 million euros.
The Epiphany singing is organized by the Children’s Mission of the City of Aachen. The proceeds from the collection go to projects for children in over 100 countries worldwide.
