Christmas traditions Steyr PART 2 - Christkind

As I mentioned in Part 1, the gift bringer in the most European and Christian countries is the Christkind.
Steyr has a part of the city which is called Christkindl. It is a pilgram location with a "holy" wax figures, stories tell that it has healing power.
However, Christkindl has also a post office, where everybody (of course mostly children) can send there christmas wishes straight to the Christkind itself.

Here is a photo of the post office:


Steyr also has a Christmas museum, kind of "rollercoaster" with really icky stuff. Here is a short "promotion" video.



So if you like this kind of stuff, you should visit it ;) For children it is nice for sure, I'm personally not really interested in that aspect of christmas *gg*. More to come about christmas traditions in Part 3.

In castle Lamberg we also have a advent/christmas exhibition, here is a video for that:
