Sylvester Party Anno 1900
Duration: 00:22:21
Description: The night of the Holy Sylvester, the last night of the year, has always been the night of fools and a funny good time. The saint of this day, Pope Sylvester I, according to
legend is the
man who healed from leprosy and baptized the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.Sylvester was a Roman, the son of Rufinus.
He was ordained a priest by Marcellinus. Chosen Pope in 314,
he continued the work of organizing the peacetime Church so well begun by St. Miltiades. Sylvester saw the building of famous churches, notably the Basilica of St. Peter and the Basilica of St. John Lateran, built near the former imperial palace of that name. It is quite probable too that the
first martyrology or list of Roman martyrs was drawn up in
his reign. St. Sylvester died in 335.
He was buried in a church which
he himself had built over the Catacomb of Priscilla on the Via Salaria.
His feast is kept on December 31.In many of the German-speaking areas the change of the year is celebrated noisily and merrily. Guests are invited, and groups attend a "Sylvester Ball." There is eating, drinking, dancing and singing. It may be accompanied by the popular "Sylvester" custom of Bleigiessen. A
small piece of lead will be melted over a flame in an old spoon and dropped into a bowl of cold
water. From the shape you can supposedly tell your fortune for the
coming year. At midnight, when the old year is almost gone and the new year is about to start, glasses are filled with champagne or wine, and toasts and hugs go with wishing each other "ein gutes neues Jahr". Some go out into the streets and listen to the bells ringing throughout the land. Others participate in shooting in the New Year, or put on their private fireworks.
