Some of my other Family members from around the world were telling me about some German folklore event that happens there and Demonic parades take place to this very day!
NOW BE GOOD NOW KIDS OR BE CARRIED OFF TO HELL!
This kind of cool stuff happens only in Olde Europe... America has no guts to allow such and maybe its the religious belief...Im sure Germans are not only strict, but allow the Devil to do his duty when He must!
It is a cultural concept thath God and the Devil work together!
Krampus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia search
Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish bad children during the Christmas season, in contrast with Saint Nicholas, who rewards nice ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children in his sack and carry them away to his lair.
Krampus is represented as a beast-like creature, generally demonic in appearance. The creature has roots in Germanic folklore. Traditionally young men dress up as the Krampus in Austria, southern Bavaria, South Tyrol, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia during the first week of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December, and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells. Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten. There are many names for Krampus, as well as many regional variations in portrayal and celebration.
