Zur Gestalt des Polizeibl?tz 
Description: Die Gestalt des Polizeibl?tz stellt mit ihrer Holzmaske, dem Dreispitz auf dem Kopf und dem umgeschnallten Ro? die Obrigkeit dar. In der Bl?tzlebuebe- Zunft ist der Polizeibl?tz ?brigens die einzige Figur mit einer Holzmaske. Diese w?rdevolle Figur spielt eine bedeutende Rolle im Laternentanz, der Brauchtumsauff?hrung der Bl?tzlebuebe-Zunft, auf die ich erst sp?ter eingehen m?chte. Zun?chst aber m?chte ich mich der Geschichte dieser Gestalt widmen.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT AFRICA?

What is a mumming? 
Description: A mumming is a type of folk play, known in many areas of Europe but particularly common in England, Scotland and Ireland, that combines music, dance, and sword fighting in episodes involving the death and revival of a character or characters. (The name derives from a French word meaning masked.) They most probably developed from earlier sword dances, many of which continued to be performed after the appearance of the mummings. The sword dances, in turn, may derive from the folk festivals of agricultural communities; their form suggests descent from a ritual that may have included actual sacrifice. With their central incident of death and revival, the mummings are thought to symbolize the resurrection of the year. Grafted onto the pagan core, which dates back to at least 1000 AD, are elements of Christianity, British history, and mythology
