The castle in Bobingen
Many churches display nativity scenes. This was done to fight the reformation. Many families even had them in their houses. People visited each other around Christmas to compare them. I observed similar behavior in Canada with Christmas lights. They are even having contests.

In certain areas "Fasting Sunday" (catholic) is still celebrated with fires. Occasionally a Judas made out of straw is burned.
