<holidayfyi-glossary slug="folklore"></holidayfyi-glossary>The body of traditional stories, customs, proverbs, songs, and beliefs of a community transmitted orally across generations and deeply entwined with the mythology and meaning of cultural holidays. Festival folklore includes origin stories for celebrations, supernatural figures associated with seasons — such as the Yule Goat in Scandinavia, the Krampus in Alpine Europe, and the Befana in Italy — and taboos or lucky actions specific to particular days that encode collective wisdom and communal values.
