Sonntagskind - A Short Story Collection 🕯️
„Die Menschen lieben die Dämmerung mehr als den hellen Tag, und eben in der Dämmerung erscheinen die Gespenster." (Goethe)
Born on a Sunday, the young seamstress Marie was blessed with a special gift. She can see ghosts, the wandering souls of those who once were.
When Marie discovers her ability after an eerie experience in her new hometown, her life is never quite the same again.
Strange encounters with the other side soon become as familiar to her as needle and thread and sometimes the ghosts of her little village seem as close to her as the villagers who live there.
✢ Short stories ✢

So there's this old tradition in Germany that you only start putting up Christmas lights (if you want to and participate) after "Totensonntag", which is the last Sunday before the first day of advent, and NOT a single day before.
It really is an old thing. By now, honestly nobody would care if you'd start decorating your house in October or something - or so I thought.
For some reason my grandma called my dad and was scandalised by her neighbours who dared to put up their Christmas lights one day before Totensonntag! She acted like it was the worst thing in the world and that this behaviour was absolutely outrageous!
She's not even religious, I have no idea what's going on! 😂 Maybe this is an "as a matter of principle" thing, my dad doesn't understand it either...
Or it's what old age does to you sometimes, who knows

Deutschribing Germany
Public holidays
Public holidays can be set by the federal government or the Länder. Only the Day of German Unity is set by federal law; the rest of them, even those celebrated all over Germany, are made holidays by state legislation. As a result, there are between ten and thirteen (in Bavaria), depending on the state. Most states have either ten or eleven public holidays.
The nine holidays observed nationwide are the following: 
January 1 - Neujahrstag (New Year’s Day)
Tumblr media
Karfreitag (Good Friday)
Tumblr media
Ostermontag (Easter Monday)
May 1 - Tag der Arbeit (Labor Day)
Tumblr media
Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascension Day): it commemorates the ascension of Jesus into Heaven and takes place 39 days after Easter Sunday.
Tumblr media
Pfingstmontag (Whit Monday): it celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit and marks the resumption of ordinary time. It takes place fifty days after Easter.
Tumblr media
October 3 - Tag der Deutschen Einheit (German Unity Day): this holiday commemorates German reunification in 1990.
Tumblr media
December 25 - Weihnachtstag (Christmas Day)
Tumblr media
December 26 - Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag (Boxing Day)
Public holidays observed in only some states include:
January 6 - Heilige Drei Könige (Epiphany) - Baden-Württemberg (BW), Bavaria (BY), and Saxony-Anhalt (ST): it celebrates the visit of the Three Wise Men after the birth of Christ. Groups of children dressed as the Three Wise Men known as Sternsinger (star singers) go from door to door to sing, ask for donations for worthy causes, and perform the traditional house blessing by marking the year over the door with chalk.
Tumblr media
The numbers indicate the year, while the letters mean either the names of the Three Wise Men (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar) or the Latin phrase Christus mansionem benedicat (May Christ bless this house).
March 8 - Frauentag (Women’s Day) - Berlin (BE) and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV)
Tumblr media
Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi) - BW, BY, Hesse (HE), North Rhine-Westphalia (NW), Rhineland-Palatinate (RP), and Saarland (SL): it celebrates the Eucharist, that is, the body and blood of Christ embodied in sacramental bread and wine. It takes place sixty days after Easter Sunday.
Tumblr media
August 15 - Mariä Himmelfahrt (Assumption of Mary) - BY and SL: this holiday celebrates Virgin’s Mary ascension into Heaven after her death.
Tumblr media
September 20 - Weltkindertag (World Children’s Day) - Thuringia (TH)
Tumblr media
October 31 - Reformationstag (Reformation Day) - Brandenburg (BB), Bremen (HB), Hamburg (HH), MV, Lower Saxony (NI), Saxony (SN), ST, Schleswig-Holstein (SH), and TH: it celebrates the onset of the reformation, as Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses on this day.
Tumblr media
November 1 - Allerheiligen (All Saints’ Day) - BW, BY, NW, RP, and SL: this holiday commemorates all Christian saints.
Tumblr media
Buß- und Bettag (Repentance and Prayer Day) - SN: it falls on the second Wednesday before the First Sunday in Advent.
While Father’s Day has a fixed date (Ascension Day), Mother’s Day takes place on the second Sunday of May. Furthermore, there is another unofficial holiday, Rosenmontag (“rose Monday”), which takes place on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. It is a de facto holiday in Catholic western and southern Germany, and especially celebrated in Carnival strongholds such as Aachen, Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and Mainz.
Tumblr media
Some public holidays (Good Friday, All Saints, and Prayer and Repentance Day) are quiet days (stille Tage), which means that public dancing, live music at inns, and noisy activities around the house, such as playing loud music, vacuuming, and construction with electric tools, are prohibited.
Holidays that always fall on Sunday are not determined by law but are quiet days: Volkstrauertag (Memorial Day), which takes place two Sundays before the first day of Advent and commemorates people who died in armed conflicts, both military and civilian, and Totensonntag (Sunday of the Dead), which is the Protestant equivalent of All Souls’ Day that commemorates the faithfully departed and falls on the last Sunday of the liturgical year in the Evangelical Church.
Tumblr media
Some days that are not designated as public holidays are quiet days in certain states, such as Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Holy Saturday, All Souls’ Day, and Christmas Eve (beginning in the afternoon).

Till's birthday - poet and lyricist appreciation post
Till the poet and lyricist - a birthday appreciation post ❤️ because i loved Till's lyrics from the first i heard them..
Tumblr media
"Spieluhr"
Ein kleiner Mensch stirbt nur zum Schein
Wollte ganz alleine sein
Das kleine Herz stand still für Stunden
So hat man es für tot befunden
Es wird verscharrt in nassem Sand
Mit einer Spieluhr in der Hand
Der erste Schnee das Grab bedeckt
Hat ganz sanft das Kind geweckt
In einer kalten Winternacht
Ist das kleine Herz erwacht
Als der Frost ins Kind geflogen
Hat es die Spieluhr aufgezogen
Eine Melodie im Wind
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Und kein Engel steigt herab
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Nur der Regen weint am Grab
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Eine Melodie im Wind
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind
Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht
Hört die Schreie in der Nacht
Und kein Engel steigt herab
Nur der Regen weint am Grab
Zwischen harten Eichendielen
Wird es mit der Spieluhr spielen
Eine Melodie im Wind
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Und kein Engel steigt herab
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Nur der Regen weint am Grab
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Eine Melodie im Wind
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Am Totensonntag hörten sie
Aus Gottes Acker diese Melodie
Da haben sie es ausgebettet
Das kleine Herz im Kind gerettet
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Eine Melodie im Wind
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Und kein Engel steigt herab
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Nur der Regen weint am Grab
Hoppe hoppe Reiter
Eine Melodie im Wind
Mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter
Und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Totensonntag
Gestern, am Totensonntag, besuchten wir den Friedhof, auf dem meine Großmutter liegt, so wie andere Großmütter, die ich kannte, und seit ein paar Wochen auch meine Tante Illa, die Cousine meiner Großmutter, die keine Kinder hatte und keine Enkel. Aber uns, die wir da zusammenstanden, sieben Leute, die ziemlich bald durchgefroren waren. Es war kalt auf dem Friedhof, Südharz, Schnee, die vielen Toten.
Später aßen wir im Restaurant der Burgruine. Auf der Karte stand Gans. Trifft man sich, um der Toten zu gedenken, oder um sich seines eigenen Lebendigseins zu vergewissern? Vielleicht beides.
Zurück nach Berlin fuhren wir durch Niemandsland. Der Schnee an den Rändern der Autobahn glitzerte im Scheinwerferlicht wie Splitter von Saphiren . Manchmal zog durch das Schwarz dahinter ein Regionalexpress, dessen helle Fenster in der Nacht leuchteten wie eine Lichterkette. Snow is falling in Manhattan.
