Cinema Tribuna: "Sr. Ingrid Grave im Gespräch" in Ilanz

Sr. Ingrid Grave achieved nationwide fame as a television nun. With veil and religious habit, she was the figurehead of the "Sternstunden" and the "Word for Sunday" on Swiss television. Even though that was over 20 years ago, she is still a household name for many people, not only in Surselva. Her texts still appear almost weekly in the regional newspapers and her thoughts on world events are thought-provoking. There is often a smile in her texts, a mischievousness that radiates from her innermost being - so even today visitors to Ilanz Monastery listen to her spellbound when she gives guided tours of the 70s building. Like back then as a teacher at the primary school in Ilanz, when she told the first graders fairy tales and exciting stories from the Bible. She has always liked to tell, the stories of the Bible have done it to her to this day and have become the basis of her life. We are curious to see what she will tell in the Cinema sil Plaz.

Sr. Ingrid Grave was born in Germany in 1937 and joined the Ilanz Dominican Sisters in 1960, where she was active in the leadership team for 12 years. For many years she lived as a pastor in the middle of Zurich's old town. Even today, she is still active in journalism and is available to visitors to Ilanz Monastery for guided tours.
