Perchten day - end of the rough nights
January 6th is Frigga's (woman Holle) Perchten day, it is the 13th day and is the end of the rough nights.
On Perchten day, in some regions, there are Perchten runs, "scary masks" are worn that are supposed to drive the last evil spirits back into their dark realm.
The 12 rough nights are the time of reflection, the end of the old past and the preview of the time of new beginnings, the time of returning light.
