SANTONS FEVES FRENCH EPIPHANY NATIVITY & FREE CROWN

  
 

THESE SMALL CERAMIC FIGURES CALLED FEVES, THE FRENCH WORD FOR BROAD BEAN (AS THE DRIED VARIETY OF THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL FEVE), ARE BAKED INSIDE A FRANGIPAN PIE (GALLETTE DE ROI), TRADITIONALLY EATEN ON THE EPIPHANY, 6TH. JANUARY, THE DAY WHICH CELEBRATES THE ARRIVAL OF THE  THREE KINGS TO THE BIRTHPLACE OF JESUS.  THE PERSON WHO RECEIVES THE FEVE IN THEIR PORTION IS 'KING' FOR THE DAY AND GETS TO WEAR THE PAPER CROWN WHICH COMES WITH THE PIE.   ORIGINALLY THESE LITTLE FIGURES WERE ALWAYS RELIGIOUS,  THE ULTIMATE AIM BEING TO COLLECT A WHOLE NATIVITY SCENE INCLUDING VISITING VILLAGERS, OVER THE YEARS, AND THEN HANDING DOWN THE COMPLETED SET FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.  NOWADAYS THEY TEND TO HAVE THEMED SETS, I.E. HARRY POTTER, NARNIA ETC. WHICH THE CHILDREN STILL AVIDLY COLLECT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE FULL SET (ALTHOUGH NOW BEING MORE AFFLUENT  THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR YEARS AS THEY WILL HAVE SEVERAL PIES AROUND THE EPIPHANY).  BUT I THINK YOU'LL AGREE WITH ME THAT THESE NAIVE LITTLE SANTONS ARE SO MUCH NICER AND WILL BE A UNIQUE ADDITION TO ANY HOME'S  'DECOR DE NOEL'.


I WILL INCLUDE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINS & HISTORY OF THESE FIGURES IN THE PARCEL.

I WILL INCLUDE A FREE FEVE RELATED GIFT TO THE WINNING BIDDER.
