If nothing else, St Luke\u2019s chair is surely familiar to everyone: Work on the chair began on 13 December; according to some traditions it had three legs, whilst others say it had four; seven types of wood were used for the former and nine for the latter, and the chair was made up of that many pieces. It had to be completed within thirteen days so that, during the Christmas Mass, the witches could be found standing on it in the church. Nowadays, nobody wants to smuggle in a Luca chair, but the story still captures people\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/katicatanya.hu\/en\/programs\/2022.12.10\/\" target=\"_blank\">Luca\u2019s daily routine<\/a> of these, the <strong>At Katica Farm, you can now learn about sowing wheat and take part in making a Luca clay figurine<\/strong>, if <a href=\"https:\/\/katicatanya.hu\/en\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Are you coming to visit us at the weekend?<\/a>.

Not only the children, but also the parents and all of you who work there were so kind to me. Given that I\u2019ve already completed a significant part of my work for this year, I\u2019ve decided to visit you again this weekend, on 10 December, so that anyone who happened to miss out on meeting me can make up for it. I always receive so much love and kindness when I travel the world on my reindeer sleigh, but what I felt with you really touched me.
