But beneath the jollity and bright enchantment of the festive season, there lurks a darker mood — one that has found expression over the centuries in a host of strange and unsettling traditions and lore. Here, Sarah Clegg takes us on a journey through midwinter to explore the lesser-known Christmas traditions, from English mummers plays and Austrian Krampus runs, to modern pagan rituals at Stonehenge and the night in Finland when a young girl is crowned with candles as St. Lucy — a martyred Christian girl who also appears as a witch leading a...>>
