A Christmas of Symbols - Liisa Väisänen
Almonds in porridge, gift ribbons, Christmas bells and Christmas tree decorations - what do they mean?
There are countless symbols associated with Christmas that we use without knowing why. Many people put almonds in their Christmas porridge and a star on top of the tree out of old habit, wrap gifts and seal them with a bow, or give a hyacinth to a friend without knowing what these traditions actually symbolize.
Liisa Väisänen's Christmas book delves into the world of symbols and offers a perspective on the international roots of Finnish Christmas traditions. The book helps you enjoy Christmas with new eyes and creates topics for conversation at the Christmas table.
You can devour the Christmas symbols in one sitting on the first Sunday of Advent, but you can also open the book's 25 chapters like an Advent calendar - by getting to know one symbol each day, you will have taken a fascinating and magical journey into the cultural history of Christmas.
