"Räbechilbi" 2013

This year we celebrated another "Räbechilbi."  This is the European holiday that I wrote about last year.  The holiday celebrates the transition from fall to winter, and is celebrated by carving turnips and lighting them with candles.  You can read more about it here.

Anyway, here are some highlights from our "Räbechilbi" this year:  Below you'll see pictures from the big "Räbechilbi" parade they have in our village.  It's supposedly one of the largest in Europe.  All the "lights" you see in the pictures are actually turnips with candles inside.  Pretty amazing.
