Gingerbread season... St. Nicholas' Day is also

Gingerbread season...

St. Nicholas' Day is also the time to enjoy a wide range of gingerbreads (in the shape of stars, fir trees, or even little animals) richly decorated with sugar, to the delight of young and old alike.

The city of Reims, in the heart of the Champagne region, appears as a center of gingerbread making as soon as in the Middle Ages, basing its fame on "the excellence of the local honeys and the know-how of its master bakers".

Reims supplied thus the markets of Paris and its fame is reflected in the 18th century in dictionaries, almanacs and encyclopedias that equate "gingerbread" and "gingerbread of Reims".

The gingerbread of Reims does not contain eggs, butter or milk. Rye flour was mixed with honey (chestnut) and spices and the resulting dough was left to rest for six weeks before baking.

Please enjoy!

Very good holiday season to all!

On the night of December 5 to 6, it's time for St. Nicholas...

St. Nicholas is a traditional holiday in many Northern and Eastern European countries, featuring St. Nikolaus , who gave rise to the commercial character of Santa Claus in the XXth century.

The holiday is still very much alive in northern and northeastern France, as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, "where Saint Nicholas distributes gifts to all good children on the night of December 5-6".

Saint Nicholas is also celebrated on December 19 in some Orthodox countries using the Julian calendar.

Traditionally, St. Nicholas distributes oranges and gingerbread or man-shaped buns to well-behaved children.

St. Nicholas Day is also a time for enjoying Mannele (literally "little man").
In Germany, these little figures are called Dambedei, Stutenkerl, Waeckmann, etc., depending on the dialect. In Switzerland, the pastry is known as Grittibänz or Grättima(nn).

A festive and fun tradition for all those who still have a soul of children.

Happy St. Nicholas Day to all!

It's almost December 3rd... the start of the Adven

It's almost December 3rd... the start of the Advent calendar!

According to the Gregorian calendar, “Advent” begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, marking the start of the liturgical year.

The word "advent" is borrowed from the Christian Latin "adventus", derived from the classical Latin "advenire" ("to come") and underlines the imminent arrival of the Messiah.

Until the 13th century, Advent was the beginning of a 3-week fast before the Christmas celebrations.

Since then, this period of abstinence has become progressively lighter, before disappearing finally in the 20th century.

For Christians, the Advent season is actually made up of four weeks, each beginning with a Sunday: Levavi, Populus Sion, Gaudete and Rorate. Each of these Sundays has, of course, a very specific liturgical meaning.

Inspired by a 16th-century German tradition, the Advent wreath was only invented in the 19th century. With its four candles, it symbolizes each of the Sundays leading up to Christmas.

The Advent calendar is also originated in Germany in the 1850s. This calendar usually begins on December 1st and ends on December 24th, which doesn't exactly correspond to Advent. Each picture hides a sweet or small gift that is supposed to calm children's pre-Christmas impatience.

For adults, it's also a time to get ready for the festivities at the end of the year, to think about presents and festive meals.

So what better way to get into the festive mood than with a glass of champagne?

So get ready for celebrations!

Cheers!
