Product details

Eighty days make up the Christmas festival cycle, and each celebration - from St. Martin on November 11 to Candlemas on February 2 - has undergone ever new variations around the world in customs and traditions
as well as in all material forms of expression. Even within Germany, the range of Christmas customs is wide and reflects different cultural developments. The more Roman and Catholic southern Germany and the Rhineland celebrate differently than the more Germanic and Protestant northern and eastern Germany.
Rüdiger Vossen's journey of discovery into Christmasland invites readers to actively experience the old and new customs or to recreate them for themselves.
