MODERATORS
Anyone have context for the purpose or use of these costumes? They seem very intricate and some are more nightmare material (at least to me)
It's probably hard to say with a lot of them, because Christianity rebranded a lot of ancient traditions... Like Christmas and Easter.
Lots of weird costumes and traditions with them wearing them are rooted in pagan traditions.
Check out the Julebukk for example
