Austria is full of tiny villages and every village has a church. When we arrived at Kirchdorf I just had to laugh because here was this very stately church and not 30 feet away was a barn and cows grazing. My teacher was telling me the other day that the reason Austria has so many holidays is because it has always been a farming country and farmers only stop for church, so the church created special religious holidays to help the farmers and their families have a day off.
