Perchtenlauf der Brucker Perchten - a photo on Flickriver

            Das Bild entstand beim Perchtenlauf auf dem Jexhof, bei Fürstenfeldbruck, den die Brucker Perchten aufführen. Es ist schön, dass unsere Traditionen so am Leben erhalten werden. 

Originally, the word Perchten (plural of Perchta) referred to the female masks representing the entourage of an ancient goddess, Frau Perchta, or Pehta Baba as it is known in Slovenia. Some claim a connection to the Nordic goddess Freyja, though this is uncertain. Traditionally, the masks were displayed in processions (Perchtenlauf) during the last week of December and first week of January, and particularly on January 6. The costume consists of a brown wooden mask and brown or white sheep's skin. In recent times Krampus and Perchten have increasingly been displayed in a single event, leading to a loss of distinction of the two. Perchten are associated with midwinter and the embodiment of fate and the souls of the dead. The name originates from the Old High German word peraht ("brilliant" or "bright"). Wikipedia
