GERMANY-TRADITION-KRAMPUS-RUN
A member of the "Sparifankerl Pass" group takes part in the so-called "Krampus-Lauf" parade at the Marienplatz place in Munich, southern Germany, on December 7, 2008. The traditional parade known in Bavaria and other alpine regions dates back to the christian-mythical figures of Bishop Nicholas and his companion "Krampus". Already 500 years ago, the "Krampus" figures wearing wooden masks performed from the end of November to the beginning of January to banish demons and evil spirits.
