During the ten-minute vigil in the center of the Austrian capital, participants carried candles or lights with them, or shone by the light of their cell phones.
The celebration, with the slogan “Yes, we care” was supported by dozens of organizations, such as labor unions, medical societies and religious groups.
President Alexander van der Bellen also expressed his support. He tweeted a picture of a candle with the hashtag #YesWeCare.
