Christmas, the holiday of love

When it gets freezing cold outside and we make ourselves comfortable in the cozy living room, it's time again - Christmas is just around the corner! Besides Easter and Whitsun, it is one of THE Christian festivities and is celebrated every year. According to tradition, the feast of love has its origin in the birth of Jesus Christ, which took place in a stable in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. Much has happened since the stable and the three kings! But why is Christmas the feast of love? Because we come together with our loved ones. The family is invited and everyone enjoys each other - we could not have someone alone at Christmas. At Christmas we also remember joyfully the carefree time of our childhood. As we crept through the house looking for presents and waiting for Santa Claus and the Christ Child. We never saw Santa Claus or the Christ Child handing over the bicycle or the handmade sweater to our parents. But they swore that it was the same and that we just missed Santa Claus. Christmas is the feast of love and not the feast of huge presents - it depends on whether it comes from the heart and nothing says "I think of you" more than handmade presents.

Advent Advent, a warm little light is burning

At the latest four weeks before Christmas, the time has come - the Advent wreath is lit and the first decorative ceramics are set up. The Advent wreath belongs to the older traditions and has its origin in the Evangelical Lutheran North Germany. In 1839 a theologian set up an Advent wreath for the children in the near neighbourhood. He wanted to make waiting in the beginning industrial age more pleasant for them and lit a candle on a wreath on each of the four last Sundays before Christmas. It then took almost another hundred years until the children in Catholic Germany were able to enjoy the radiant tradition. Since the 1950s, however, the Advent wreath has been an integral part of Christmas, regardless of denomination. Young and old enjoy it, especially when it is handmade.
