Francia
Joyeux Noel!
In Provenzasono nati i famosi Noels dai quali derivano le varie pastorali. In alcune città della Provenza, il maggiore dei figli correva nel campo e cominciava a dar colpi d'accetta all'albero più vecchio finché non cadeva; poi lo trascinava in cucina e lo consegnava al nonno, il quale lo bagnava with three glasses of mulled wine and placed it beside the hearth. Then the grandchildren looked out the windows and threw coins to the poor, these many small lamps lit to look for the money and to give thanks "with a flame of light." Other timeless traditions in the French countryside, are the strain and the campfire. The strain comes on to heat the Child Jesus and because it has this important work is garlanded. In Paris, we are preparing, by the tree, the cribs, the character I like best is the French children ravi , nice ride, bringing the lantern that he needs to clear the path to the crib.
Germany
Frohlich Weihnachten!
In Germany, the preparation of Christmas lasts 24 days, the period of Advent. Advent means "coming", the coming on earth of Jesus Children receive the Advent Calendar, with 24 windows. It opens one every night and found the figures or a small gift, usually sweet. They opened the last Christmas Eve. In some families, you build a crown of fir branches intertwined, holding four candles strung yellow or red in a small bowl of copper. Each Sunday of Advent if they turn one, to symbolize the growing light, until the birth of Jesus does not shine all together. German children to see their envelopes with letters sprinkle a thin layer of glue and then sprinkle of sugar, so shine in the dark. Great importance is the Christmas tree, which occupies a prominent position in every German home. The grain is a symbol of Christmas. In the south of the country is spread on teti so that birds can take part in the festival.
Spain Feliz Navidad!
The crib can not miss the English houses. In fact the country is a practice deeply felt, like the live nativity. There is also the habit of welcoming dinner for a relative or acquaintance who is poorer. The songs are very beautiful and English varies from region to region, but the dominant rhythm is the Flamenco. Children await the gifts from the Three Kings, and leave out the door of slippers full of fodder for their camels. Another tradition is to dress really nice boy and give him full powers as a bishop December 6 to 28, during which will honor and acclaim.
Britain
Merry Christmas!
During the Christmas period there has always been the habit to meet in small groups of singers and turn from house to house singing carols and handing out sprigs of evergreens as a sign of good wishes, custom remaining from the Celtic tradition. The English cities are indeed beautiful at Christmas, all the houses are decorated with holly, boxwood, laurel, mistletoe ... And of course the sock hanging from the fireplace to allow a Babbo Natale di riempirla di doni! Il tutto illuminato da splendide luminarie in ogni via. Un'altra usanza molto bella è quella immancabile dei biglietti d'auguri, con bellissime illustrazioni, che gli Inglesi spediscono per le feste a parenti e amici.
E al cenone non può mancare in nessuna tavola il tacchino e il Christmas Pudding!
Messico
Feliz Navidad!
Un evento molto atteso è la Posadas, che comincia il 16 Dicembre. E' una rappresentazione dell'arrivo di Giuseppe e Maria a Betlemme e della loro vana ricerca di un alloggio. Sono i bambini a formare la processione e a cantare, chiedendo asilo ad ogni porta. Quel giorno si inizia anche ad addobbare la casa con lanterne colorate, green plants and moss.
A typical game you really like the smaller is the pinata: terracotta jars full of candy that the children, with eyes blindfolded, must break with a stick. The game takes place on Christmas Eve after the prayers. Mexico is also the tradition of the Christmas star, beautiful plants with red flowers that we all know well.
Russia
S Rozhdestvom Khristovym!
The Russian children are even now a piece of black bread in their shoes in honor of Babuouchka. It is said that the Magi, traveling to Bethlehem, they stayed with an old farmer who gave them hospitality. When I finally managed to leave, the proposed to go with them to see the baby Jesus Due to the age and hardness of the trip, however, refused Babouchka. The next day, in remorse, he took the bread to be offered to the Saviour and tried to reach them. But he could not find them because the snow had cleared the tracks and the legend is still Babouchka now on the road, bringing gifts to offer to children.
In Russia, however, there is Santa Claus, only called Grandfather Frost, the owner of bad weather.
U.S.
Merry Christmas! Here
Christmas traditions are a mixture of different cultures. Many customs are similar to English, but do not forget the Hispanics, the Chinese, Italians and African Americans, making the Christmas a diverse mix of American traditions.
Finland
Hyva Joulua!
Preparations for Christmas begin in October. Families gather together to cook or sew dolls of wool and twist the straw to make them pets. On December 13, Saint Lucia, the eldest son takes parents breakfast in bed, coffee and bread for Christmas, Joululeipa, wearing a white dress tied at the waist by a red ribbon and a crown of 12 candles on his head.
Christmas begins with a "Declaration of Peace" by the Mayor of Turku, the ancient capital of the country. On the evening of
Eve it is customary to give evidence of burning candles on the graves of relatives and friends, lighting up the cemetery until dawn. And after dinner, all in the sauna! The entire families go there, then finished with a dip in the icy water of the lakes or the sea.
Lebanon
Milad Majid Said Aam Wa!
Every family has a tree and a nativity scene. Two weeks before Christmas, next to it are planted the seeds of lentils, beans and broad beans that symbolize the birth of Jesus After the Mass on Christmas morning, there is a tradition to visit grandparents and great-grandparents.
The tables are laden with specialties such as Mezzes, appetizers of various shapes, or le baklavas, paste alle noci, al miele e ai fiori d'arancio.
L'influenza della cultura francese si fa sentire sia per la presenza delle baguettes a tavola che per i canti natalizi, tipici della Francia con solo qualche variazione nel testo.
Australia
Merry Christmas!
Qui Natale arriva in piena estate e nelle città le classiche decorazioni, come gli alberi di Natale, sono abbinati a fiori tropicali e foglie di palme, con koala, kookaburra, vombato ed altri animali tipici che affollano le vetrine vestiti da Babbo Natale. Qualche giorno prima di Natale si svolge la Christmas Pageant, una specie di Carnevale natalizio in cui squadre sportive, ditte, servizi municipali, ecc. allestiscono carri in maschera a tema natalizio che sfilano per la città. E il 25 Dicembre non poteva mancare la gara di surf, in cui tutti gli iscritti sono travestiti da Babbo Natale! Da guardare durante il pic-nic sulla spiaggia che sostituisce il nostro cenone.
Madagascar
Arahaba Tratry Ny Krismasy!
Anche qui Natale è d'estate e le città non sono decorate dai classici abeti ma dalle jaracanda, bellissimi alberi dai fiori color malva. Alla viglia ci si ritrova in chiesa, spesso la gente fa viaggi di ore a piedi per arrivarci, e si canta anche fino alle 3 del mattino! Chi viene da lontano si ferma spesso a dormire in Chiesa, poi tutti a casa per una cena a base di piatti decisamente piccanti. Il 25 Dicembre Next we see a small performances staged by children in the churches.
Brazil
Feliz Natal!
Here the cribs are made of natural size, with splendid figures in papier mache. On December 24 the reisados \u200b\u200btake to the streets, dancing to the sound of drums, accordion and harmonica, singing to each home's praises until it is offered them something. At midnight, all the bells ringing in celebration. In a country so vast, however, the traditions vary from region to region. Do you think that in Rio de Janeiro Santa Claus arrives by helicopter!
Philippines
Maligayang Pasko!
In an archipelago with more than 7000 islands, some habits may vary. The city, however, are decorated with colorful lanterns and rows of banana bunches. On December 16, you get up at 4 to attend the Mass of the Rooster, which marks the beginning of the Christmas novena. Many traditions are taken from the countries that have occupied the Philippines, as Christmas carols typical of Americans, or habits such as posadas English.
liked the ride? We hope so! Obviously there are many other beautiful traditions in other countries around the world to be discovered and possibly be put into practice. You can also find us in beautiful books for children or for adults.
Hoping to please, you leave another little gift:
Light a light
Accendi una luce
su tutta la terra
che porti la pace,
che vinca la guerra
Accendi una luce
che rechi speranza,
che porti la gioia
nel cuore più triste
Accendi una luce
nel fondo del cuore
che vinca l'orgoglio,
che vinca il rancore
e dica ad ognuno
d'amarsi così
Accendi una luce
al di sopra del mondo
che vinca la fame,
hatred and evil
because it makes sense
this Christmas.
