  • City Decorations
    CITY DECORATIONS CHRISTMAS TREE Here, in Catalonia, on Christmas’ Eve people hang lots of decorations on their Christmas tree and in their houses. But we don’t decorate as much as other countries like United States or other European Countries. PESSEBRE “El pessebre” is especially important. It is the scene of Jesus’ birth in the stable of Bethlehem with figures representing different symbols. El “pessebre” is built in houses and it is made by little figures and a house made of wood and people put rivers and other buildings or objects. The city Council makes a big “pessebre” made with big figures; and theatres or communities make “el pessebre vivent” that is the same but with real people representing it. The basic characters are: · Baby Jesus: It is the most representative figure in the “Pessebre”. · Mary: Jesus’ mother. · Joseph: Maria’s husband. · Donkey and mule: they provide heat to the baby Jesus. · The Angel who is announcing the birth of Jesus. · The star that guides the three Magic Kings to the stable. · The Three Kings, coming from the East, are those who bring gold, incense and myrrh to the infant Jesus. And the most traditional character of the Catalan “Pessebre” is el “Caganer”, that is a hidden person making a poo. A new thing added more recently is the “Pixaner” that is like “Caganer” but making a pee. STREETS In the street few days before Christmas, the city hall hangs Christmas lights between buildings, on some trees and in shopping centres. A traditional thing that cities make every year is the St.

  • Nadala at the Fundació Joan Miró Photography in the Foyer
    Nadala at the Fundació Joan Miró Photography in the Foyer Joan Miró and the Nativity Figures Installation and photographic selection by Josep Mañà 23/11/2017 — 07/01/2018 Opening: 22 November 2017, 6 pm Press release The Fundació Joan Miró presents Joan Miró and the Nativity Figures, an installation by Josep Mañà reflecting the admiration that Joan Miró had for this popular art iconography. For the 2017 Christmas installation, Mañà has recreated a traditional Nativity scene reproducing a wide range of landscapes in the Foyer of the Foundation, in homage to Miró’s close relationship with nature and the land. Taking place from 23 November 2017 to 8 January 2018, the installation will be accompanied by a new photographic selection from the Joaquim Gomis Fonds that aims to highlight the great affection Miró felt for the artistic expressions of popular culture. Barcelona, 21 November 2017. ‘Popular art always moves me. It doesn’t cheat or play tricks. It goes straight to the point. It is amazing and so full of possibilities!’ ‘Look at the Nativity figures that are sold at Christmas markets. You can still see the fingerprints in the clay.’ (Joan Miró) The Nativity figures, or pastorets as they are called in Mallorca, were an integral part of Miró’s childhood, when the traditional Christmas market, or Saint Lucia’s Fair, used to occupy the Plaça Sant Jaume, close to his birthplace at Passatge del Crèdit. Years later, in Son Abrines, his studio in Palma de Mallorca, he kept a collection of them in a vitrine that he solemnly called his ‘Pinacotheque’, next to other of his favourite samples of popular craft, such as the Mallorcan clay whistles.

  • A Quel Pays Correspondent Ces Traditions De Noël ?
    A quel pays correspondent ces traditions de Noël ? Pays 1 :…………………………. Dans ce pays les cadeaux de Noël sont donnés la veille de Noël par le Père Noël ou l’enfant Jésus selon les croyances. Ceux qui ont une cheminée y brûlent un tronc d’olivier ou de châtaigner et trouvent leurs cadeaux dans les chaussures qu’ils apposent en face. Il est fréquent de retrouver une crèche dans les foyers, à laquelle les parents ajoutent au dernier moment la figurine du petit Jésus pour surprendre les enfants. Que trouve-t-on au menu ? Beaucoup de morue et le « Bolo Rei », gâteau de fruits confits ! Pays 2 :…………………………. En décembre, les habitants de ce pays s’envoient de jolies cartes de vœux bien décorées qu’ils suspendent dans leurs maisons jusqu’au mois de janvier. Une autre tradition est celle des crackers de Noël, gros bonbons de papier brillant cachant des petits cadeaux et une couronne, que l’on « craque » au moment du repas. La tendance du sapin de Noël que nous connaissons et que l’on retrouve dans les maisons a été initiée par le prince- consort Albert, empruntée de son pays d’origine qui est… l’Allemagne ! Pays 3 :………………………….. Bienvenue aux pays des meilleurs marchés de Noël ! Ce pays possède plusieurs traditions uniques liées à Noël, à commencer par la multitude de calendriers de l’Avent que l’on trouve dans les foyers. Dans le sud-est du pays, les enfants demandent des cadeaux au Christkind, une petite fille que l’on retrouve symbolisée dans les parades. La Saint-Nicholas, le 6 décembre, est aussi une occasion d’offrir des cadeaux aux petits.
