  • Pilgrims to Thule
    MARBURG JOURNAL OF RELIGION, Vol. 22, No. 1 (2020) 1 Pilgrims to Thule: Religion and the Supernatural in Travel Literature about Iceland Matthias Egeler Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Abstract The depiction of religion, spirituality, and/or the ‘supernatural’ in travel writing, and more generally interconnections between religion and tourism, form a broad and growing field of research in the study of religions. This contribution presents the first study in this field that tackles tourism in and travel writing about Iceland. Using three contrasting pairs of German and English travelogues from the 1890s, the 1930s, and the 2010s, it illustrates a number of shared trends in the treatment of religion, religious history, and the supernatural in German and English travel writing about Iceland, as well as a shift that happened in recent decades, where the interests of travel writers seem to have undergone a marked change and Iceland appears to have turned from a land of ancient Northern mythology into a country ‘where people still believe in elves’. The article tentatively correlates this shift with a change in the Icelandic self-representation, highlights a number of questions arising from both this shift and its seeming correlation with Icelandic strategies of tourism marketing, and notes a number of perspectives in which Iceland can be a highly relevant topic for the research field of religion and tourism. Introduction England and Germany have long shared a deep fascination with Iceland. In spite of Iceland’s location far out in the North Atlantic and the comparative inaccessibility that this entailed, travellers wealthy enough to afford the long overseas passage started flocking to the country even in the first half of the nineteenth century.

  • Christmas Around the World
    Christmas Around the World Christmas in Ethiopia Ethiopia uses the Julian calendar, therefore they celebrate Christmas or Ganna (or Genna) on January 7th. Most Ethiopians do not decorate with trees or lights, nor do they all give gifts. They spend this time eating good food, going to church, spending time with family, and playing games. They dress in a traditional white garment called a netela and some walk to church at 4 AM. Others go to church on Christmas Eve at 6 PM. At church they will receive a candle, walk around the church three times, and stand for over three hours before the men and boys play a popular game also called ganna. https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreakirkby/48297525787 Watch to learn about Click on the book cover for a Learn more about read aloud of The Story of the some Ethiopian Christmas in Ethiopia.

    Issue 18 Xmas 10 SPECIAL SPECTACULAR www.grapevine.is The Reykjavík Grapevine Xmas Special Spectacular 2010 2 Issue 18 Xmas | Icelandic Christmas gifts to children who put their shoe in their windowsill for thirteen days before Christmas. However, their job descrip- tion didn’t expand to gift giving until the second half of the 20th century when the practice became widespread. “It comes from an old European tradition prac- ticed in port cities, such as Hamburg and Amsterdam,” Árni says. “In those cities, Saint Nicholas, who is really the prototype of the American Santa Clause, was naturally a popular figure as the patron saint of both sailors and kids. It happened that kids put their shoe, which symbolized a “ship,” in the window on December 6, and the protector Saint Nicholas would visit them in the night and leave them a small gift.” When Icelandic fishermen saw the cus- tom around 1930, they started doing it for their own kids in Iceland. Soon, they started doing it every Sunday of the Ad- vent. “As you know, Icelanders can be pretty crazy,” Árni adds, “So by 1960, it exploded as a widespread phenomena wherein some kids received gifts every night in December.” REIGNING IN THE YULEtiDE LADS However, the excessive practice led to problems in play schools around Iceland. “I started working at the National Mu- seum in 1969 and old women—grand- mas—would call me and complain that this thing with the shoe was terrible,” Árni recalls. “Kids would show up to school and compare gifts, leading some kids to go home crying, ‘why isn’t Santa nice to me?’” Árni told the grandmas that he wasn’t a policeman and he couldn’t ban anything, but that he would get in touch with the The Yuletide Lads Rise To Christmas Stardom day care workers association and pre- school teachers to discuss whether In Iceland, Santa Claus doesn’t live on ally trolls anymore, but they are still ugly.
