Winter customs from All Saints' Day to Christmas and Candlemas
Lecture on tradition and magic.
Especially in the darkest time of the year, our customs bear witness to our longing for the light - but also to fears that lie dormant deep within us.
Have you ever wondered why you shouldn't hang out the washing at Christmas, why there are firecrackers on New Year's Eve and what the Raunächte are all about? Many of our modern-day festivals and rites often have ancient roots.
Let Tatjana Henfling surprise you with an entertaining talk about how much paganism is hidden in our Christian customs.
