Beware the Christmas Cannibal of France

December 6, 2023

A butcher, a man with a whip, and a jolly bishop walk into a bar. This is not, in fact, the opening line of a twisted joke—it’s preparation for the biggest day of the year in Nancy, an elegant city in France’s Lorraine region. St. Nicholas Day is celebrated across many European countries on December 6 or the weekend following it. Each evening in Nancy from late November till early January, a lights display projects a story onto the...

Lancashire Courting Cake

December 6, 2023

Before dating apps, girls in the historic English county of Lancashire would bake romantic cakes for their betrotheds. These were considered love tokens in a time when unmarried men and women were kept apart due to societal norms, but the Lancashire courting cake is still made today, both by professional bakers and people seeking to impress their loved ones. The Lancashire courting cake is two layers of firm sponge cake, with whipped double cream and sliced strawberries as the...

How a Midnight Feast Became a Month-Long...

December 6, 2023

As a city known for its festivals and food, it’s no wonder New Orleans has a special gustatory way of celebrating the Christmas holidays. Although modern festivities no longer require celebrants to stay up all night, revelers can still indulge in the nearly 200 year old feast of Réveillon every December, as the Catholic French Creole inhabitants of the city did before them. The first written mentions of Réveillon in France date back to the 19th century, when Catholics...

December 5, 2023

We all have them. Those holiday ornaments that we put up every year thinking, “Maybe it’s really time to retire this cracked pickle ornament?” But nonetheless, every year, they go up, like a bowhead whale that just won’t die. After a few years, the cracked pickle has become a beloved holiday tradition. It’s how a lot of the most unusual ornaments and decorations turn into holiday mainstays. To inspire your own weird ornament collection, we asked readers on our...

'Glass of Thrones Belfast' in Northern Ireland

December 4, 2023

The popular and award-winning HBO-produced television program Game of Thrones was based on a series of fantasy novels written by the American novelist George R. R. Martin. Most of the filming took place primarily in and around Northern Ireland. To pay homage to the prosperity and boom in the tourist industry the series generated for the city, a series of six stained glass panels were erected along a pedestrian walkway in the city’s Titanic District. Each of the windows...

A Curious Collection of Weird Gift Ideas

December 1, 2023

There is no uniform way to describe the word “weird” that works for everyone—in fact, that lack of homogeneity is precisely the point. Unusual, strange, odd, curious, eccentric, unique: Weird is in the eye of the beholder. Here at Atlas Obscura, we celebrate all the ways to stand out from a crowd, and that goes double during the holidays, which can start to feel formulaic rather than festive, rote and not remarkable, ho-hum rather than ho-ho-ho. So this year,...

The Strange Case of Antarctica’s Red and...

December 1, 2023

In Antarctica, global warming has been turning the snow green. And no, that’s not a good thing. It’s all happening on and near the Antarctic Peninsula, the bit of the Frozen Continent that juts out furthest north. It’s one of the fastest-warming places on Earth. By some accounts, average annual temperatures have increased by almost 3°C (5.4°F) since the start of the Industrial Revolution (c. 1800). The Peninsula is where, in 2020, Antarctica’s temperature topped 20°C (68°F) for the...

Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge in Dallas,...

December 1, 2023

The Willamette River Valley of western Oregon is the historical and economic heart of the state. Not only is it a fabulously productive agricultural area, but it is also the major population center, containing Oregon‘s largest cities. Unsurprisingly, however, the scale of human activity has had a highly deleterious effect on native wildlife. The Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge preserves a small slice of the natural environment, tucked among the farmlands, where wildlife still has a chance to thrive....

The Adventures and Trials of Jack, Scat-Sniffing...

December 1, 2023

Jack, a stocky cattle dog with a graying face that blends into his blue, mottled coat, struts down the mossy trails of western Oregon with purpose. On or off leash, his focus is keenly attuned to his handler and partner, Collette Yee. And it’s not just the yellow dog toy in her hands that draws his attention. The two can read each other’s most subtle cues, and have an unbreakable bond built on years of expert training, mutual reliance,...

Basilica of St. Valentine in Terni,...

December 1, 2023

The Basilica of St. Valentine in Terni, Italy, is decorated appropriately around February 14th—in fact, the entire city is decorated for the month of February. Terni styles itself as the “City of Lovers,” because of its patron saint, Valentine. But Terni’s Saint Valentine here is the former Bishop of Terni, while the Saint Valentine traditionally associated with lovers is Saint Valentine of Rome. In early listings of martyrs by the Catholic Church, these were listed as two separate individuals....

Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Ronks, Pennsylvania

December 1, 2023

Railroads, of course, were fundamental to 19th-century industrialization, and remain important even today. Pennsylvania was at the heart of the United States railroad development in the 19th century. Pennsylvania coal largely fueled the locomotives, and the state’s iron and steel industry furnished much of the infrastructure. In addition, the Baldwin Locomotive Works, outside Philadelphia, was the top U.S. producer of steam locomotives for decades in the latter 19th century. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania highlights this history. Locomotives, rolling stock,...
