Conference: The Little-Known Traditions of Christmas
Christmas night, or Wihnachta, is a timeless period where magic and ancient traditions blend.
It marks the transition to the new year and, at the stroke of midnight, fruit trees bloom while animals seem to speak.
This unique moment, where heaven and earth meet, is said to be favorable for divination: observing certain plants could reveal the future.
This night also begins the twelve intercalary days, symbolizing the gestation of the coming new year.
A heritage of beliefs and customs to rediscover together, before continuing the conversation over a friendly refreshment stand.
