Kindleinwiegen (Rocking the Christchild) is a Christian Nativity tradition which can be traced back to the Liturgical dramas of the later Medieval period. It is a tradition primarily from the German speaking parts of central Europe which appeared across the region in a variety of forms, chiefly though not exclusively in monasteries and churches. It was at its most widespread between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, and survived more strongly in Roman Catholic regions than in those areas that switched to protestantism, following the interventions of Martin Luther and others.

  • Kindleinwiegen (Rocking the Christchild) is a Christian Nativity tradition which can be traced back to the Liturgical dramas of the later Medieval period. It is a tradition primarily from the German speaking parts of central Europe which appeared across the region in a variety of forms, chiefly though not exclusively in monasteries and churches. It was at its most widespread between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, and survived more strongly in Roman Catholic regions than in those areas that switched to protestantism, following the interventions of Martin Luther and others. German language terms used for the celebration include Christkindlwiegen: the verb included in that compound word, "wiegen", indicates both rocking/cradling and weighing/getting the measure of the baby. The celebration involved a form of congregational dancing accompanied by singing around a picture of Jesus placed on a crib or adjacent altar. The performance was led by the priests, and the singing, at least initially, appears to have consisted of duet sung by two priests.The ceremony is still carried out, believed now to be uniquely, in the parish church of St Mary of the Purification, Blidworth, Nottinghamshire, England, usually on the nearest Sunday to Candlemas (although if that Sunday falls in January it is usually enacted on the following Sunday, so that it is always the first Sunday in February. It was restored at Blidworth in 1922 so the service which took place on 6th February 2022 marked the centenary of its restoration. For more details search Blidworth Rocking. (en)
  • Il Kindelwiegen o Kindleinwiegen o Christkindlwiegen (letteralmente "cullare il Bambin(o) (Gesù)") era una tradizione natalizia diffusa soprattutto tra il XV. e il XIX secolo nelle comunità religiose di lingua tedesca (soprattutto cattoliche) e che ebbe origine nel Medioevo L'usanza consisteva in una sorta di danza accompagnata da canti attorno ad un'immagine di Gesù posta in una culla o sull'altare da parte del sacerdote e dei fedeli.. Fu tra le usanze che consentirono alla Chiesa di far presa sulle masse: tramite quest'usanza, infatti, le comunità ritenevano di poter stabilire un "contatto" diretto con Gesù. (it)
