Caganer, a Catalan tradition
The Catalan Caganer is one of the most traditional and unique nativity scene figures in Catalonia. The Caganer depicts a man wearing a red Catalan hat, known as ‘barretina’, and a Catalan scarf, who is shown pooping! In Catalonia, it is a common practice to include this figure in Christmas nativity scenes.
The origins of the Caganer are somewhat uncertain, with different legends arising from various villages and communities. Folklorist Joan Amades suggests that the character of the Caganer in the popular nativity scene is linked to fertilization rituals found among many European cultures.
Other legends trace the origin of the Caganer to the baroque period, spanning the 16th to 18th centuries, a time when guilds were prominent. This era was marked by a strong emphasis on realism, particularly in still life and scenes that captured the essence of village life. This is when depictions of working conditions, as well as indoor and outdoor scenes, gained prominence as artistic themes. And it is, also, believed that this is also where the figure may have appeared.
