What is Krampusnacht?

The Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in parts of Europe on December 6th each year. On the preceding evening of December 5th Krampus Night or Krampusnacht the Krampus appears on the streets. Sometimes accompanying St. Nicholas and sometimes on his own Krampus visits homes and businesses. The Saint usually appears in the Eastern Rite vestments of a bishop and he carries a golden ceremonial staff. Unlike North American versions of Santa Claus in these celebrations Saint Nicholas concerns himself only with the good children while Krampus is responsible for the bad. Nicholas dispenses gifts while Krampus supplies coal and the ruten bundles. In German-speaking Alpine folklore Krampus is a horned anthropomorphic figure. According to traditional narratives around the figure Krampus punishes children during the Christmas season who have misbehaved in contrast with Saint Nicholas who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts.
