History
Saint
Rupert was a bishop in Germany when the pope asked him to go to Bavaria to
teach people about Jesus. Rupert was very faithful, and one of the first people
in the town to convert was the duke. The duke gave Rupert land so he could build
an abbey. Rupert also established the salt-mining industry, which helped the
community prosper so much, they renamed it Salzburg (“Salt Town”).
Activity
One
of the most beloved films about Catholics of all times was filmed in Salzburg:
The Sound of Music. When you watch the movie today, enjoy the many beautiful
scenes of Salzburg.
