Chaque pays chr\u00e9tien c\u00e9l\u00e8bre No\u00ebl un peu diff\u00e9remment. Certains le f\u00eatent le 25 d\u00e9cembre, d'autres plus t\u00f4t. Certains \u00e9changent des cadeaux la veille de No\u00ebl, d'autres attendent la fin du mois. Certains prennent de la dinde et du jambon comme repas principal, d'autres pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent les fruits de mer. Les traditions peuvent varier selon les continents, les pays et les m\u00e9nages. Voici quelques traditions de No\u00ebl belges \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir si vous passez cet hiver \u00e0 Audenarde.<\/p>

Avent<\/h2>

No\u00ebl \u00e9tant \u00e0 l'origine une f\u00eate chr\u00e9tienne, de nombreuses personnes c\u00e9l\u00e8brent l'Avent pendant la p\u00e9riode qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de cette f\u00eate. L'Avent dure quatre semaines et est symbolis\u00e9 dans les maisons et les \u00e9glises par l'exposition de couronnes et de bougies de l'Avent. Chaque dimanche, l'une des quatre bougies est allum\u00e9e, marquant le d\u00e9but des semaines les plus sombres mais les plus douces de l'ann\u00e9e. Cette op\u00e9ration se poursuit pendant quatre semaines, jusqu'\u00e0 ce que les quatre bougies soient allum\u00e9es. Lorsque toutes les bougies sont allum\u00e9es, le compte \u00e0 rebours est termin\u00e9 et le jour de No\u00ebl est arriv\u00e9.<\/p>

Une autre fa\u00e7on de c\u00e9l\u00e9brer l'Avent est d'avoir un calendrier de l'Avent. Ces calendriers comportent 25 portes, symbolisant le compte \u00e0 rebours jusqu'\u00e0 No\u00ebl, qui commence le 1er d\u00e9cembre. Derri\u00e8re chaque porte, les enfants trouvent souvent des friandises ou des chocolats. Ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, les adultes ont \u00e9galement adopt\u00e9 ces calendriers, avec des versions contenant des petites bouteilles d'alcool, des produits de beaut\u00e9 ou d'autres cadeaux.<\/p>

Sinterklaas<\/h2>

Saviez-vous qu'en Belgique, Saint-Nicolas et le P\u00e8re No\u00ebl sont deux personnes distinctes et qu'ils ont chacun leur propre f\u00eate ? Sinterklaas, ou Saint Nicolas en anglais, est c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 le 6 d\u00e9cembre, une tradition qui remonte au troisi\u00e8me si\u00e8cle. Le soir du 5 d\u00e9cembre, les enfants d\u00e9posent leurs chaussures pr\u00e8s de la porte ou de la chemin\u00e9e avant de s'endormir, ainsi qu'un cadeau ou un go\u00fbter pour Saint-Nicolas. En retour, ils se r\u00e9veillent avec des cadeaux ou des bonbons. Parfois, les enfants d\u00e9posent \u00e9galement des cadeaux ou de la bi\u00e8re pour le Saint Nicolas. pieten<\/em>Les enfants de l'\u00e2ge d'or sont les assistants de Saint-Nicolas. Les friandises traditionnelles sont le pain d'\u00e9pices, les mandarines ou m\u00eame des dessins faits maison. Dans certaines familles, il est \u00e9galement de coutume de pr\u00e9parer des gaufres de Bruxelles la veille au soir.<\/p>

Lors de la colonisation de la Nouvelle-Hollande (l'actuelle ville de New York), les colons hollandais ont import\u00e9 la l\u00e9gende de Saint-Nicolas en Am\u00e9rique. Le nom Santa Claus vient en fait de la prononciation anglaise de Sinterklaas. Au fil du temps, l'image moderne du P\u00e8re No\u00ebl a \u00e9t\u00e9 fa\u00e7onn\u00e9e par diverses influences. Un c\u00e9l\u00e8bre po\u00e8me de 1823, Une visite de Saint-Nicolas<\/em> (souvent connu sous le nom de La nuit avant No\u00ebl<\/em>), l'ont d\u00e9peint comme un distributeur de cadeaux joyeux et dodu. Plus tard, en 1931, l'illustrateur Haddon Sundblom a cr\u00e9\u00e9 l'embl\u00e9matique P\u00e8re No\u00ebl en costume rouge pour Coca-Cola, cimentant ainsi l'image joyeuse que nous connaissons aujourd'hui.<\/p>

March\u00e9s de No\u00ebl<\/h2>

Les march\u00e9s de No\u00ebl sont tr\u00e8s populaires en Belgique et constituent une excellente occasion pour les commer\u00e7ants locaux de pr\u00e9senter leurs produits. Vous trouverez un grand march\u00e9 de No\u00ebl dans la plupart des grandes villes et des march\u00e9s plus petits dans des endroits plus ruraux, allant des stands install\u00e9s dans les caf\u00e9s aux salles communales. Traditionnellement, les march\u00e9s de No\u00ebl sont constitu\u00e9s de stands festifs en bois o\u00f9 des entreprises locales et ind\u00e9pendantes vendent de l'artisanat, des cadeaux, de la nourriture et des boissons que vous ne trouverez pas dans la rue. Consultez la page d'information de votre ville pour conna\u00eetre l'actualit\u00e9 des march\u00e9s de No\u00ebl cette ann\u00e9e.<\/p>

Les boissons classiques des march\u00e9s de No\u00ebl sont le gl\u00fchwein, le chocolat chaud ou les shots de geni\u00e8vre. Les gaufres, les frites et la soupe font partie des plats typiques que l'on trouve sur les march\u00e9s de No\u00ebl.<\/p>

Les trois sages<\/h2>

Pour terminer les c\u00e9l\u00e9brations de No\u00ebl, nous comm\u00e9morons les trois sages qui ont suivi une \u00e9toile brillante jusqu'\u00e0 J\u00e9sus \u00e0 sa naissance. Nous c\u00e9l\u00e9brons cette f\u00eate chaque ann\u00e9e le 6 d\u00e9cembre. Dans diff\u00e9rentes boulangeries, vous trouverez peut-\u00eatre une \"galette des rois\", qui est une tarte d\u00e9cor\u00e9e d'une couronne en papier dor\u00e9. Une f\u00e8ve est cach\u00e9e \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur et celui qui la trouve est le roi ou la reine de la journ\u00e9e et porte la couronne. La f\u00e8ve peut \u00eatre une petite figurine en plastique ou un symbole religieux, mais certains pr\u00e9f\u00e8rent utiliser de la porcelaine ou m\u00eame de l'or !<\/p>

Joyeux No\u00ebl<\/h2>

La Belgique compte plus d'une langue nationale. En Flandre, on parle une version belge du n\u00e9erlandais appel\u00e9e flamand ; le sud de la R\u00e9gion wallonne compte surtout des francophones, et la partie orientale de la Belgique compte une petite partie de germanophones. L'endroit o\u00f9 vous avez grandi d\u00e9termine la langue que vous apprenez \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole et la langue que vous parlez le plus souvent au quotidien. Naturellement, il existe aussi de nombreuses fa\u00e7ons de dire \"Joyeux No\u00ebl\". Un Flamand pourrait dire \"Vrolijk Kerstfeest\". Un francophone vous souhaitera un \"Joyeux No\u00ebl\" et un germanophone dira \"Frohe Weihnachten\".<\/p>
