Product Description
The Christmas Market in Lübeck, Germany, located in front of the historic Holsten Gate, is in full swing, bustling with holiday cheer on this German paper advent calendar with glitter accents. The market stalls have an inviting warm glow under the star filled sky as townsfolk browse the ware and children build a snowman.
The Holsten Gate (Holstentor) has remained on this spot since 1464, once serving as the western gate for the Hanseatic city and now houses a museum dedicated to the history of Luebeck.
Some of the windows of this calendar reveal other famous buildings, landmarks & symbols of Luebeck, as well as, festive Christmas motifs.
The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open. Each door has a little picture behind it.
Tradition of the Advent Calendar
The tradition of the advent calendar dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany. The first advent calendar with little doors was printed in the early 1900's and continues today. The tradition is to open one door each day from December 1 thru December 24. Children love to open a door a day as they count down to Christmas.
