Vlog 9: Krampusnight in Medvode

Welcome to our 9th Vlog! In this episode, we're diving deep into the fascinating and unique Slovenian tradition of Krampus. Every year, young, unmarried men dress up as fearsome devils and scare little kids – sometimes even with a bit of alcohol in hand! But don’t worry, they’re not alone.
Accompanying them is Saint Nicholas, who listens to the children’s prayers and rewards them with candy. While it may seem like a strange tradition, the Krampus celebration ensures that the kids stay brave and well-behaved for the rest of the year!
Join us as we explore this quirky yet heartwarming custom in Slovenia. 🎅👹🍬

Dobrodošli v našem 9. Vlogu! V tokratni epizodi se potapljamo globoko v fascinantno in edinstveno slovensko tradicijo krampusa. Vsako leto se mladi, neporočeni moški preoblečejo v strašne hudiče in strašijo majhne otroke – včasih celo z malo alkohola v roki!
Vendar ne skrbite, niso sami. Spremlja jih sveti Miklavž, ki posluša molitve otrok in jih nagradi s sladkarijami. Čeprav se morda zdi čudna tradicija, praznovanje Krampusa zagotavlja, da bodo otroci ostali pogumni in lepo vzgojeni do konca leta!
Pridružite se nam pri raziskovanju tega nenavadnega, a prisrčnega običaja v Sloveniji. 🎅👹🍬 Všečkajte, komentirajte in se naročite za več kulturnih dogodivščin iz Slovenije.
