RE: New Year's Eve with OCDs

in #blog6 years ago

In my country there is a tradition called "The twelve grapes of luck", and consists of eating a grape with each bell strike at midnight, and well, there are many others, but that is my favorite.

Regards!

How interesting!! I haven't heard of it before!! Thanks for sharing!! :)) Where are you from?? :)

I'm from Venezuela, but the tradition is inherited from Spain, according to the story, the French and German aristocracy liked to eat grapes, something that the Spanish aristocracy assimilated, later, in New Year's Eve, the citizens of Madrid approached the Gate of the Sun square to hear bells, and mocked the customs that the aristocracy had copied from the French and Germans, over time, an excess in the harvest of grapes caused the tradition to become popular, and became a ritual to culminate the year, some countries that were colony of Spain assumed the tradition also, like Venezuela, Colombia or Mexico.
