A lucky pig? What is that for a tradition?
In Germany, placing a lucky pig statue in your home to celebrate the New Year is a common practice.
The Internet is full of theories about the origins of this tradition.
Some have even said that pigs could have been a “ sign of wealth and prosperity ” in the Middle Ages.
In reality, decorating the family living room with this kind of little pig statue is an even older practice...
We know that the first Germanic tribes already worshiped the wild boar.
According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the Germans carried with them "formae aprorum" (translation: forms of wild boar) to protect themselves in battle.
In fact, this reflects a truth that modern archeology has been able to verify. On helmets, buckles or even lucky jewelry, the figure of the wild boar is omnipresent in ancient Germanic culture.
In short, this type of little pig statue is a German lucky charm to say the least!
Nowadays, it will mainly be used to bring luck and financial prosperity, especially if you place a coin underneath.
So, does this statue seem interesting to you?
And more broadly, do German culture and its origins interest you?
