Sean-nósanna na Nollag, Sinterklaas san Isiltír agus geamaireachtaí na Nollag

BBC Radio Ulster - Blas, Sean-nósanna na Nollag, Sinterklaas san Isiltír agus geamaireachtaí na Nollag

Our weather over Christmas determines the year's weather. Who knew? Our ancestors did!

Piseoga na Nollag, traidisiún Sinterklaas faoi lán seoil san Isiltír agus 'He's behind you!!'. Robert McMillen shares his selection of Christmas pantos.

Déanann Micheál Ó Domhnaill, Comhairleoir Béaloidis Gaeilge cur síos ar na seantraidisiúin agus piseoga a bhain leis an Nollaig san aimsir a bhí. Cluinfimid uaidh faoin mhuinín a chuir ár sinsear i réamhaisnéis aimsire ag brath ar an aimsir a bhí ann ó Nollaig mhór go dtí an Nollaig bheag. Fosta, ar chuala tú iomrá ar 'Strones'? Bhuel, éist leat go gcluinfidh tú cén sórt bia é sin. Labhraíonn Dáithí le Gearóid Ó Sé thall sa Háig faoi thraidisiún Sinterklaas na hIsiltíre agus tugann Robert McMillen ar thuras muid timpeall ar gheamaireachtaí na Nollag. 
 
Micheál Ó Domhnaill, Folklore Advisor with Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaillimh, describes the traditions and superstitions that were once connected to Christmas. We hear how our ancestors put their faith in the weather that they had over Christmas to determine the weather they'd have through the year. Also, have you heard of 'Strones'? Well, have a listen to see what type of food that was.  Dáithí speaks to Gearóid O' Shea in The Hague to find out about the tradition of Sinterklaas, and Robert McMillen takes us on a tour of the Christmas pantos.
