Woodcarver Specializes In Krampus Masks

MARKTSCHELLENBERG, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 28: Krampus or devil's mask are displayed in the workshop of woodcarver Richard Kranawetvogl on November 28, 2015 in Marktschellenberg, Germany. Kranawetvogl specializes in the fearsome masks and makes them for local Krampus associations, which have become increasingly popular in recent years. Krampus, a horned, horrific creature, has been a part of Central European alpine folklore going back at least a millennium, and since the 17th-century Krampus traditionally accompanies St. Nicholas and angels on the evening of December 5 to visit households to reward children that have been good while reprimanding those who have not. However, in the last few decades Bavaria and Tyrol have seen the founding of numerous village Krampus associations with up to 100 members each and who parade without St. Nicholas at Krampus events throughout November and early December.
