Class description
During our Advent tour, we would like to introduce you to the “spirit of (Cologne) Christmas” — quietly and contemplatively. Walk with us through Cologne's old town and learn about long-forgotten customs during the Christmas season in the shadow of the cathedral.
Who are the “Three Magi” and what connects them with the “Three Kings”? Were the Cologne brownies also active at Christmas time? How did St. Nicholas become Santa Claus? And is the Christ Child his daughter? Why do we like to set up an Advent wreath and cribs and decorate our living rooms with Christmas trees?
