Helpfulness
This is a local custom, that is mostly practised in Austria, but I found also the masks in Switzerland. The masks are worn to chase the winter-ghosts. They are worn in february to allow the spring to finally come, when the dark winterghosts are gone. But to chase a winterghost, you have to to look furious and ferocios--- more than them.

Have fun while watching the Klaubeif and feel the soft shudder running up your neck.
