Christian Families in Austria still celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in a very traditional kind of way. While the opening of the Christmas markets, so called \u201cChristkindlmarkt\u201d, ring in the merry season, every Sunday families light a new candle on the \u201cAdventskranz\u201d and wait for the \u201cChristkind\u201d while singing Christmas carols, baking cookies and decorating the Christmas tree.

Many Austrian families actually still make their own wreath and even come together with neighbors and friends to make an event out of that. Some even go into the woods and get their own fir branches.<br \/>\nThe original advent wreath had 24 candles, today there are usually only four. On every advent Sunday you light a(nother) candle. Some families stayed with traditional colors regarding the candles. Three are supposed to be violet and one, the one for the third advent Sunday, is pink. The third advent is called \u201cGaudete\u201d.<br \/>\nThe symbolic meaning of the advent wreath is to prevail over the darkness of life and while you light the candles there will possibly be some kind of singing, reciting or even praying involved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee\">\n.flex_column.av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee av_one_half  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k3r9zx38-7c76b61284e8c900e687e41c32491304\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-7c76b61284e8c900e687e41c32491304 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-7c76b61284e8c900e687e41c32491304 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k3r9zx38-7c76b61284e8c900e687e41c32491304 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-18  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-small-hide av-mini-hide'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-149013 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-149013 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/christmas-crafting-decorating-1030x687.jpg\" alt='' title='Woman makes a fir wreath for advent.

In some regions, there are rumors that if the branch blooms someone in the family will get married!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-67ddri-41246adb82eb20f9271331161b8c66cb hr-short  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half  hr-left'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-2g99i-9d2d3d5c594140ede8ab5cd11aa3815b sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2g99i-9d2d3d5c594140ede8ab5cd11aa3815b\">\n.flex_column.av-2g99i-9d2d3d5c594140ede8ab5cd11aa3815b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2g99i-9d2d3d5c594140ede8ab5cd11aa3815b av_one_half  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k3r9zx38-3ec1996f4ef8aea2559ba44c0a1115e4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-3ec1996f4ef8aea2559ba44c0a1115e4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k3r9zx38-3ec1996f4ef8aea2559ba44c0a1115e4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k3r9zx38-3ec1996f4ef8aea2559ba44c0a1115e4 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-29  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-149022 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-149022 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition-1030x687.jpg\" alt='' title='Krampus masks'  height=\"687\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/stuwo.ovl.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/krampus-masks-in-an-exhibition.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jtogly79-ad57aec588c41c3e6e0fd3a450386ad1\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jtogly79-ad57aec588c41c3e6e0fd3a450386ad1{\nheight:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jtogly79-ad57aec588c41c3e6e0fd3a450386ad1 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee\">\n.flex_column.av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-6kn5ly-ba6e8220906b4fd8a3c9ce922b56c0ee av_one_half  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-60022e-53bb3d26fdc2272bcdd40065ab042c11 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Saint Nicholas<\/h3>\n<p>The 6th of December is the day of Saint Nicholas. In Austria, it is tradition that children who have behaved well during the course of the year, are being rewarded with tangerines, nuts and chocolate. Some get a visit from Saint Nicholas \u201dhimself\u201d in the afternoon &#8211; while others will find some goodies in their shoes by the morning.<br \/>\nThe best friend and companion of St. Nicholas is \u201c<strong>Krampus<\/strong>\u201d. A character of daunt. A pair of scary horns, fasces and big bells marks his appearance. On the sixth of December, if you listen carefully, you can hear his bells outside &#8211; even from a great distance. The tradition all around the \u201cKrampus\u201d is celebrated differently throughout the federal states. Originally, it was believed that the scary character brings luck, blessings and fruitfulness for the next year. Today the \u201cKrampus\u201d upbraids those children who were not well behaved. Krampus parades, events and even coffee party\u2019s are really common in various parts of the countryside.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

After spending the day decorating the Christmas tree, cooking a feast or attending a Christmas matin, one living room window is being opened in the evening to allow the \u201cChristkind\u201d to come by and bring the Christmas presents. Yes, you heard right, the presents in Austria are not brought by Santa Claus, but by the \u201cChristkind\u201d!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, every family has its own traditions, dishes and, depending on the age of the children, certain sequences, but here are some classic Austrian traditions that should not be missing on Christmas Eve.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Decorating the Christmas tree: <\/b>The Christmas tree, usually spruce or fir, is decorated for Christmas by December 24th at the latest. With small children this task is often done by the \u201cChristkind\u201d as well and the children are only allowed to see the tree when everything is ready and the presents are under the tree. Other families have made it a tradition to decorate the Christmas tree on the morning of the 24th to get in the mood for the evening with Christmas carols playing in the background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Light of peace<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The light of peace is supposed to remind of the birth of Jesus and also stands for a peaceful coexistence.
