We attended the christmas-market on the main square in Bruck/Mur while there was a Krampus- /Perchten-run. It's an ancient alpine tradition and related to St. Nicolas (Perchten Wikipedia).
The main square still got this cozy feeling of old the past times, and looks cute with the small wooden stores that offer warm beverages, all kinds of food and sweets, and all kinds of Christmas items.
A train kids go for a ride around the big Christmas tree
The Krampus- run was along a predefined course to ensure the safety as pyrotechnics where used by some of the participating Krampuse(s). If you're close to the spectacle there's a good chance you geht whipped by a Krampus with a rood. In this custom Krampus is here to punish you for your wrongdoings in assistance to St. Nicolas, rewarding the good ones. In case you get hit, i am sure you well deserve it ;)
Have a wonderful Advent time, peace and love to all!
Great way to give the kids nightmares :)
yeah, specially when you tell them they have nothing to fear if they were 'good kids' :D But indeed they love that mix of sweets, curiosity and fear :)
Krampus is not a thing here, so don't know much about the tradition. I knew I had seen @arseniclullaby draw him and found this old post.
Oh thank you @acguitar1
Oh it looks fun and scary with scary monsters!
Thank you for sharing.
