Thursday of the Third Week of Advent

Calabrian pifferari

Return to the Advent calendar.

Advent Fast Fact
During Advent in Italy, Calabrian pifferari — bagpipers — play before shrines of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

This is based on a traditional Italian belief that when the shepherds came to the manger in Bethlehem they played music to pay homage to the infant Jesus.
