Traditional "Pflugziehen" in Stelvio/Stilfs

"Pflugziehen" is an ancient play mirroring the battle against the force of nature. The end and parting of winter is outlined as well as the beginning of the blessing and prosperous period of spring.
The procession through the village raises on the one hand hope for the prosperous harvest. On the other hand the evil spirits of winter, which should be chased away.
