April 26, 2017

La cupule que forme le rocher of the Celtes aurait servi, selon la légende, de siège d'accouchement public pour les peuplades habitant la région.
Chaque année, dans la nuit du premier dimanche de carême, Dieffenthal renoue avec la tradition celt du Schiewaschlave, lancer de disques de bois enflammés, pour célébrer l'équinoxe de printemps.

According to tradition, the bowl-shaped recessed peelstone on the so-called Celtic rock was said to have served as a birthing chair for the Celts, who lived here some 3,000 years ago - births took place in public.
Every year in Dieffenthal the night before the first Sunday of Lent revives the Celtic tradition of "Schiewaschlawe". For the day and night, the beginning of spring is celebrated with the spinning of burning wooden discs.
