Do you know the origins of Halloween?
The Rommelbootzennaat, stronger than Halloween in Moselle!
The Moselle region is full of traditions... and certainly more stories of beasts and witches of all kinds.
In fact, if you go back a few centuries, we've come up with a legend that's sure to please!
Once upon a time... On 31 October, we celebrated the end of the luminous period and the beginning of the cold season. During the night of All Saints' Day, the door between the world of the living and that of the dead remained open.
To protect themselves from the wandering souls that prowled around their homes, the Moselle people lit candles. They then placed them in hollowed-out beetroot, on which they drew terrifying faces!
This particular night had a name: the Rommelbootzennaat, or Night of the grimacing beetroot. So Moselle has nothing to envy to Halloween, which it has been celebrating in its own way for several centuries now!
