The Boeoegg, a snowman made of wadding and filled with firecrackers
The Boeoegg, a snowman made of wadding and filled with firecrackers, burns atop a bonfire in the Sechselaeuten square in Zurich April 13, 2015. As the bells of St. Peters church chime six o clock, the bonfire below the " Boeoegg" is set alight and mounted guildsmen gallop around the pyre to the tune of the Sechselaeuten March. The faster the head of the " Boeoegg", the symbol of winter, catches fire and explodes, the warmer and more beautiful the summer will be. REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the mesmerizing spectacle of "The Boeoegg" burning atop a bonfire in Zurich's Sechselaeuten square. The snowman-like figure, crafted from wadding and filled with firecrackers, stands as a symbol of winter bidding farewell to make way for the arrival of spring. As the bells toll six o'clock from St. Peters church, an air of anticipation fills the square. With great ceremony, the bonfire beneath "The Boeoegg" is ignited while mounted guildsmen gallop around it to the rhythmic beats of the Sechselaeuten March. All eyes are fixed on this towering pyre. Legend has it that if the head of "The Boeoegg" catches fire and explodes quickly, it signifies a warm and beautiful summer ahead. This belief adds an element of excitement and hope to this age-old ritual. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and billowing smoke, this low-angle view captures both awe-inspiring beauty and a sense of danger lurking within. It showcases how folk culture intertwines with creative traditions to create such unique spectacles. This photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also centuries-old customs passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still room for ancient rituals that connect us to our roots and beliefs about nature's cycles. (Photo by Arnd Wiegmann/Reuters)
