Krampus day - who is afraid?
On the 5th of December is traditionally the Krampus Day, while the feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated on the 6th of December. Both are usually seen together on the evening of the 5th of December. Around the 5th of December there are parades and events all over Austria, the so-called "Krampus runs".
These photos are from a Krampus run in Klagenfurt a few years ago.
Am 5. Dezember ist traditionell der Krampustag, während das Fest des Heiligen Nikolaus am 6. Dezember gefeiert wird. Beide sind aber meist gemeinsam schon am Abend des 5. Dezember zu sehen. Um den 5. Dezember herum gibt es in ganz Österreich Umzüge und Veranstaltungen, die so genannten "Krampusläufe".
Diese Fotos stammen von einem Krampuslauf in Klagenfurt vor ein paar Jahren.
These photos were taken with my old Olympus E-510 and the 14-54mm lens.
If you like my photos I would appreciate an upvote, a nice comment or a resteem 😊
Thank you, have a nice day,

Oh, I am very sorry for that @moncia90 and I am glad you have not seen this one
I was joking...but I think that the Evil is something like that👺
Don't you think?

I know you were joking ;)
I have never thought about the face of the Evil or about how it looks, because it can look like you and me I think.
You are right!

Holy crap this is some good wholesome family holiday fun times! I can really get behind this tradition. I love this!!! The costumes are amazing. Great shots as well. So cool :)
Thank you Carl, as children we had a lot of fun at this time of the year ;)
It is always a great experience to watch such a Krampus run.
Hallo Johann, uih sehen die gruselig aus. Hier in Deutschland Hessen kennt man den Krampus gar nicht. Hab einen schönen Abend. Alexa
Hallo Alexa, so schlimm sind sie gar nicht ;) Wünsche dir auch einen schönen Abend :)
Nasty looking Krampus! Great photos!
Thank you @melinda010100 :)
They are very nice ... most of the time ... at least sometimes ;)
Klasse Fotos. Hier kennt man den Krampus auch nicht.
Die Arbeit, die in den Masken steckt ist ja echt enorm.
Danke für das Zeigen, Johann.
Ganz lieben Gruß,
Moni

I've known about Krampus for a long while, but didn't realize there was a festival! Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I guess I should be looking into more stuff like you've posted.
This reminds me of one night when I was in New Orleans around Christmas time, and I nearly ran into the devil on Bourbon Street. Later that evening, over dinner, a guy dressed as a demon was skulking around the edges of the restaurant and peering in at me. And...a short story idea is born. Thanks, @johannpiber!
My pleasure @michaias, I am glad I could entertain you and give you the idea for a new story :)
We don't celebrate Halloween as much - with Krampus we have grown up ;)
What a monster to grow up with... :)
Hahaha :)
May I steal that line? I've thought about it all day. I'm not sure which way you intended it, but it can be read at least two different ways, and it's all about the placement of the word "with."
The way you have it worded, it sounds like you're implying that Halloween is a childish holiday, and your culture has matured because of the story of Krampus or maybe you've matured and the invention of Krampus is an indication of that maturity.
The other way to read it, which maybe is what you actually meant, would require moving the word "with" to later in the sentence: "we have grown up with Krampus." That way, there's no implication of Halloween celebration immaturity. Instead, the sentence is just a statement of neutral fact that you don't celebrate Halloween because your culture focused on Krampus instead.
This sentence is linguistically fascinating to me!
(Also, just to sate my own curiosity, which way did you intend it?)
Wow, I'm speechless 😧
Halloween is something we did not know when we were kids. We had and still have other customs and Halloween has been added in recent years and is now celebrated with us.
I did not mean Halloween is childish and am sorry when my English was not correct
... yes, of course you may use my words, but I do hope you don't use them against me ;)
Hope I could explain good enough.
I figured you meant it the second way. I just want to use your line in a short story I'm crafting. I'm not sure how I want to use it yet, but it's too good to not at least keep the spirit of the line, even if it ends up not being about Krampus by the time I'm done.
Fine, please tell me when your story is online. Have a nice day @michaias :)
