No Christmas without Christ Child

A invention from Luther
 
DieThe story began in 1535
The reformer Martin Luther invented the art figure of the "Holy Christ-Child). The children receive gifts from the "Holy Christ-Child".

He wanted to go away with the Saint Nicholas and filled the vacuum that could arise with it with new artificial figure, because untill then the children had received their gifts from St. Nicholas.

The Christ Child, usually in the form of an angels comes with blonde hair and wings, on the 24th December in the twilight. It brings the Christmas tree and the presents. And who listens to Christmas eve of silence, he hears the faint ringing of the silver bell, which has the Christ Child with them. This is a sign that the Christ Child the cnadles lit on the tree and it is just about to waft away.
