Wasn't burning whicker figures more of a celtic thing?
a small village in northeastern Portugal has been doing that since there are records (aka Roman times but most likely way longer)
It's an illegal tradition. It's supposed to just be a huge decoration, but it has become a folk tradition to set it aflame.
The punishment is €10k+ in fines and one dude even got jail time.
Why they don't turn it into a thing and let if become a tradition for the time to come? if people want to burn it so much just let if become part of the celebration.
Because the government always resist the fun things in life.
what'd he ever do to deserve that
It's a she, and she stopped giving us mead.
They can't do it anymore. The punishment for it is severe and it's constantly monitored now.
There's nothing fun about destroying beautiful and valuable things, fuck off lowlife trash
Burning it isn't an actual tradition, we all have christmas goats at home but you don't burn them.
Imagine if the municipality would give out free mead and warm drinks to people during winter instead by the goat
It would be incredibly based.
Surprised Greta and gang haven't cracked down on such an obvious source of air pollution yet.
Is that what originated "Queima do Judas" in Portugal and Brazil?
i want to drink Heiðrún's mead
Why don't they just embrace the tradition?
Nah, that one has Christian origins and comes from the Iberian peninsula as whole, other latino countries besides brazil also do it
on the other hand, Spain has nothing even remotely resembling the caretos or people burning whicker effigies in celtic fashion
