Christmas in Germany
In the Bavarian Alps, Christmas Shooting is a tradition that dates back many hundreds of years. In southern Germany, too, at Christmas time the so-called Berchtenrunners are part of the traditional scene. Named for Frau Berchta, who in old German folklore made the fruit of the fields grow, these runners today wear frightening masks. Carrying chains, brooms and pickaxes, they go from farm to farm asking for little presents in payment for Berchta’ s services.
