Numerous folk customs in Hungarian tradition are associated with the time around the Winter Solstice (21st December). Many people today are still familiar with customs on St Lucy's Day, Nativity plays and the song tradition of regölés, but who knows of the traditions of St Barbara's Day, the St Nicholas Day procession on 6th December, Christmas sing-songs, the customs of distributing the sacramental bread or carrying bundles of sticks, the blessing of St John's Day, the Feast of the Holy Innocen...ts on 28th December (known under a variety of other names), or the various folk customs associated with New Year's Eve? Anyone who has not heard of these customs will now get the chance with the help of the Turai Tradition-Keepers and Zagyva Banda, who will run through the most important events of this busy month in an hour-long presentation.
