Why are the windows lit up for Christmas?
The light plays a major role in the Christmas season in the Erzgebirge. It conveys warmth and comfort. Traditionally, the well-known figures of angels and miners or candle arches are placed in the windows at Christmas. If you visit the Erzgebirge, often only the windows are illuminated with the typical warm white light from fairy lights. Colorful and flashing lights are not original Christmas decorations.
The custom of lighting windows dates back a long time, when the miners drove to the mine early in the dark in the dark winter months and were on their way home in the dark in the evening. To show the men and sons the way, there were initially candles in the windows, which were later replaced by the traditional angel and miner figures.
Today, besides these typical representatives of the folk art from the Erzgebirge, window paintings and decorations can also be seen. Some of these are electrically lit and show traditional Christmas motifs. But one thing has remained - the longing for light and warmth in a dark time.
