EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of Norwegian folklore and tradition as three little girls proudly carry four-leaved clovers during the celebration of Nytaar, the Norwegian New Year. Dating back to 1904, this image offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this superstition in Norwegian culture. The four-leaved clover, a rare variation of the three-leaved shamrock, has long been considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity in various cultures. In Norway, it was believed that carrying a four-leaved clover during Nytaar would bring blessings and happiness in the coming year. The girls in the photograph are dressed in traditional Norwegian clothing, adding to the authenticity and historical context of the image. Their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation, reflecting the joy and hope that comes with the start of a new year. Nytaar, also known as Julbock or the Yule Goat, was a traditional Norwegian festival celebrated on January 13th. It marked the end of the Christmas season and the beginning of the new year. The celebration involved various customs and traditions, including the exchange of gifts, feasting, and the decoration of homes with evergreens and other natural materials. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and folk lore that surrounds the Norwegian New Year and the significance of the four-leaved clover in bringing good fortune and happiness. It offers a unique insight into the customs and traditions of a bygone era and serves as a testament to the enduring power of folklore and superstition in shaping cultural traditions.
