EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless tradition in Norway known as "Raising the Bird-Pole" during Christmas time. Dating back to 1869, this historical custom showcases the rich cultural heritage of Norwegian Christmas celebrations.
In this image, we see a group of individuals coming together to raise a tall pole adorned with various decorations, including what appears to be a bird perched at the top. This symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the upcoming year.
The scene is filled with festive cheer and camaraderie as families and friends gather to partake in this age-old ritual. The snow-covered landscape adds an extra layer of magic to the atmosphere, creating a truly enchanting holiday setting.
As we delve into the history behind this Norwegian tradition, we are reminded of the importance of preserving regional customs and passing them down through generations. It serves as a reminder of our roots and connects us to our ancestors who celebrated Christmas in similar ways centuries ago.
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online not only captures a moment in time but also invites us to reflect on the significance of traditions in shaping our cultural identity. It is a beautiful homage to Xmas in Norway and all that it represents.
