A MAN OF ICE AND FIRE: Swiss Holiday Celebrates Spring By Burning And Exploding A Snowman
- 9 years ago
On the third Monday of every April, the city of Zurich, Switzerland celebrates Sechseläuten, a festival that marks the end of winter the way God intended us to mark it - by strapping a snowman to a wooden stake, stuffing his head with explosives, burning him until his head explodes, and measuring the amount of time said head exploding takes to happen in order to determine the warmth of summer. Ahhh? fun for the whole family!
