2. BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Kallikantzaroi are bad
black goblins in Greek
folk tradition.
They live underground
where they saw the World
tree, so that it will collapse,
along with Earth.
3. DURING CHRISTMAS
When Christmas comes
they are able to come to the
earth. They forget the Tree
and come to bring trouble to
people.
4. AT EPIPHANY DAY
People throw doughnuts
and sausages on their roofs
on Epiphany Day (January 6)
to please Kallikantzaroi and
to keep them out of their
houses.
( J A N UA RY 6 )
5. AFTER CHRISTMAS
Finally, on the Epiphany
(January 6) they must go
underground again to
continue their sawing.
