摘要：Customs of this period start with St. Barbara's Day (December 4th), and last until St. Basil's (February 3th). Most rituals are concentrated around Christmas. On Christmas eve, a yule-log is placed on the house hearth and left there to slowly burn through the night. There also existed a custom (until 1815) to elect »the village Christmas king« on the day after Christmas. His crown is kept in the treasury of the local church.
