Candle Beggar - Yule Lad Ornament

Sale price$15.99

Candle Beggar or Kertasníkir arrives on Christmas Eve Day, 24 December.

In former times, candles were the brightest lights available to people. They were so rare and precious that all children longed to have their very own candle for Christmas. And poor Candle Beggar – well, he also longed for a candle. 

The thirteenth was Candle Beggar

It twas cold, I believe,
if he was not the last
of the lot on Christmas Eve.

He trailed after the little ones
who, like happy sprites,
ran about the farm with
their fine tallow lights.
