3. FRAU PERCHTA
佩希塔夫人
Tales told in Germany and Austria sometimes feature a witch named Frau Perchta who hands out both rewards and punishments during the 12 days of Christmas (December 25 through Epiphany on January 6). She is best known for her gruesome punishment of the sinful: She will rip out your internal organs and replace them with garbage. The ugly image of Perchta may show up Christmas processions in Austria, somewhat like Krampus.Perchta's story is thought to have descended from a legendary Alpine goddess of nature, who tends the forest most of the year and deals with humans only during Christmas. In modern celebrations, Perchta or a close relation may show up in processions during Fastnacht, the Alpine festival just before Lent. There may be some connection between Frau Perchta and the Italian witch La Befana, but La Befana isn't really a monster: she's an ugly but good witch who leaves presents.
流传于德国和奥地利的一个故事,在圣诞节和洗礼节之间的12天(12.5-1.6)有一个名叫Frau Perchta的女巫,她会给人奖励或者惩罚。最为人所知的是,对于有罪之人严酷的惩罚:她会取出他们的内脏,然后在他们的身体中填充垃圾。这个面容丑陋的女巫会出现在奥利地的圣诞游行中。关于这个女巫的故事,有人认为是从阿尔卑斯自然女神的故事演变而来,因为女神会在圣诞节对所有人一年中发生的事情进行秋后算账。在现如今的庆祝仪式上,Perchta(阿尔卑斯女神)或者她的亲信会出现在忏悔日的游行队伍中,忏悔日是阿尔卑斯节日中大斋节之前的一个节日。Frau Perchta和意大利的一个名叫La Befana女巫差不多,但是后者不是怪物,她虽然面貌丑陋但是是一个会送礼物的善良女巫。
