ETNO / ETHNO: NOČ PARKELJNOV / KRAMPUS NIGHT

Na četrti Noči parkeljnov v Goričanah, 21. novembra 2015, je strašilo 400 sodelujočih iz 20 skupin iz Slovenije, Avstrije, Italije in Hrvaške. Parkeljni oz. Krampusi so pošasti z rogovi, ki so del Srednjeevropskega alpskega ljudskega izročila že vsaj tisoč let. Sprva se je v poganski folklori parkelj pojavljal sam, nato pa se je v 17. stoletju priključil Krščanskim zimskim praznikom kot eden od spremljevalcev Miklavža. Praznik Sv. Miklavža je 6. december, Miklavž pa večer prej s svojimi angeli obišče in obdaruje pridne otroke. Tiste, ki niso bili pridni, njegov spremljevalec parkelj kaznuje. Noči parkljnov ali Krampus Laufi so v Alpskih deželah pogosti. Nastopajoči nosijo ročno izdelane lesene maske z živalskimi rogovi, obleko iz kravje, ovčje ali kozje kože, kravje zvonce, biče, vile it.

Four hundred participants in 20 groups from Slovenia, Austria, Italy and Croatia participated in the 4th annual Krampus gathering in the village of Goricane, Slovenia. Krampus is a demonic horned creature that has been a part of Central European Alpine folklore for at least a thousand years. At first it appeared alone in a pre-Christian context, but then in the 17th Century the Krampus figure has been added to the Christian winter celebrations as it became one of the companions of Saint Nicholas. The Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated on December 6. On the evening before (December 5), St. Nicholas and his angels traditionally visit homes to reward children who were good during the year, while their devilish companions the Krampus punish those who were not. Krampus gatherings or Krampus runs are common in Alpine countries before the Feast of St. Nicholas. Participants dress as Krampus creatures by wearing a hand-carved wooden mask with animal horns, cow, sheep or goat skin suit, loud cow bells, whips, forks, torches etc.
