The tradition shows how people in Catalonia used to depend on their crops for survival. They had special traditions to create good luck, and now that most people are not farmers, these traditions live on.
I am noticing that in Europe, most things have a history of hundreds of years. The Caga Tió is a perfect example of this. A tradition that began in the 1700s for a good harvest continues in 2023, 300 years later. Now, he is the bringer of sweets and excitement for children, representing the Christmas holiday.
