Today's #grandma recording: "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right"? - What? - "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right?." - What? - "You don't really like to speak about your wedding, right?." - "Was not that nice. Was not that nice."

Then she told me, that when they were in the church (she wasn't even sure anymore, which church it was), she saw the Kohleklau character https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlenklau and that she was so scared.

Today's #grandma recording was about a #custom her family would perform on #Candlemas/#Lichtmess: They would cut pieces of candles from a wax taper ("Wachsstock"/"Kerzenstock"), stick them on a piece of wood and would leave them outside, to harden. Then they would get them in, light them up, do three high-speed rosaries ("Rosenkranz") and go with the burning candles into the cowshed and blow out the candles. The burnt wick ("Docht") would then go in the soup.
