Event details: Class & Open Circle - Krampusnacht
Description
Class this week will be part 2 of Mythology, homework is due! Krampusnacht (Night of Krampus) is observed on the eve of Saint Nicholas day. In the parts of Austria, Hungary, Bavaria, Slovenia and the E.U. where St Nicholas evolved primarily from the Norse God Thor (long beard, flies through the air), Loki evolved into the anti-santa known as Krampus. While in America Santa has duel duty of taking care of both good and bad children, St. Nicolas and Krampus play a "good cop, bad cop", with St Nick rewarding the good and Krampy (sometimes as Black Peter) scaring the bejeezes out of the naughty. A cross between Xmas and Halloween, revelers honor Krampus by mumming (frightening others with masks and scary garb), carousing, fire dancing and other recreations.
