“Incö la Giöbia la brüsa. Pensa ai màl pasàa, 'l fögh al sa purta via tüscos. ”
The Giubiana is burning tonight. Think about all the past evil, the fire is going to cleanse everything away.
#folklore#proverbs and sayings#postcards from lombardy#p.s. it may seem like a bit of a 'barbaric' custom but keep in mind that a) it predates christianity so this was never a 'witch'#and b) it was never a real person to begin with#it probably stemmed as part of the agricultural propitiatory rituals that used to take place during or around the christmas twelvetide#namely around the last and first day of the year#just like the various processions of Perchta or the Perchten or the Befana etc.#giubiana#giöbia#bonfire
