Do you know who Kaganer is? 💩

This unusual character is a traditional element of the Catalan nativity scenes. The caganer (translated as "pooping") is a figurine of a peasant who sits in the corner of the stage and does his "business". Sounds strange ? But there is deep symbolism hidden in it!

The caganer appeared in the 17th-18th centuries as a symbol of fertility and good fortune. It is believed that its actions "fertilize" the earth, bringing abundance and prosperity. Therefore, a nativity scene is considered incomplete without it!

Over the years, Kaganer has also become a way to joke: now the figurines depict not only a peasant, but also celebrities, politicians and pop culture characters. 🎅👑

So if you see a Caganer, remember: this is not just a joke, but part of a rich Catalan tradition! 😊
