In European Christian folklore, Krampus is a demonic horned creature, half-goat, half-demon, that accompanies Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children. While St. Nicholas is generous and rewards good children on his saint day of December 6, his horned companions are his counterparts, punishing bad, misbehaved children. Traditionally, St. Nicholas and his Krampusse come out at night on December 5, known as the Krampus Night (Krampusnacht). They go about the village visiting households to distribute gifts while the Krampusse look out for bad children still outside to chase them, known as Krampus Run (Krampuslauf). Apart from organized public processions or Krampus Runs with elaborate Krampus masks from neighboring countries, the tradition of Krampusnacht in Slovenia is fading away. The village of Zgornje Duplje is one of few that still nurture the tradition.
