The Reformed Church of Zurich canton opened an outdoor exhibition of wooden sculptures to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the first Reformed communion service held at Kappel monastery in Switzerland. On Maundy Thursday 1526, the Cistercian monastery of Kappel near Kappel am Albis celebrated the Eucharist for the first time according to Reformed confession practices, marking a significant moment in the Protestant Reformation. The exhibition, featuring sculptures by Peter Leisinger and titled "Bullinger!" after Heinrich Bullinger, is displayed at the former monastery site, which now serves as an educational and conference center for the Reformed Church of Zurich canton.
