The Pentecostal foliage procession

This great spring procession is part of Alsatian tradition. It brings together strange characters mounted on sturdy horses: the snail barker, the frost sniffer or the street sweeper... The most talkative, the Pfengschtflitteri (or Pentecost Leafman), is an incarnation of the spirit of nature. His humorous speech should convince the villagers ... who may well throw him into the river to ensure a good harvest!
