This holiday festival has ancient origins and in different regions is called differently. However, in the Austrian village of Huben, he is referred to as just the name of the village and is held annually in the month of November.





The history of the festival goes to the fifth century BC. Many people confuse Perchta with a similar festival Krampus. But they do not only take place at different times, but have completely different legends. The main actors are Perchta demonic deity female and humanized animals. Goddess Perchta is the patroness of animals. That is why they are mostly festival. On the territory of the village of Huben holiday this year took place on 22-23 November.
