Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Catalonia’s beloved scatological Christmas custom
A defecator? That doesn’t sound like a decorative item for the holiday seasons. But in Catalonia, a northeastern region of Spain, it is a centuries-old tradition locally known as “Caganer.” A defecating clay-made figure wearing black trousers, a white shirt, and the classic red Catalan cap is regarded as a symbol of good luck, fortune, and prosperity. Catalans think defecating depicts a natural act as opposed to being rude or unpleasant. Sounds so true as mothers and doctors both welcome baby’s defecating as a sign of good health.
But why Caganers in the holiday season in a devout Catholic region?
Enjoy reading and seeing this traditional figure for the holiday season.
