What's winter without a snowman?!
Big and small, kind and funny,
with carrots instead of a nose and an old bucket on their head, they are born, as if by magic, in city and village courtyards, lovingly molded and rolled by the palms of children and adults.
How many snowmen appear around us during the winter? Hundreds! You look, and every time you are surprised by the imagination, originality and originality of thinking of the “sculptors”!
This fun winter activity has been known to people for centuries. But not many people know what supernatural meaning the snowman had in the past...
If you believe the old legend, at the end of the 15th century, around 1493, the Italian sculptor, architect, poet Michelangelo Buonarroti first sculpted a snow figure. According to historical research, the first written mention of a snowman is found in an 18th century book:
it talks about a “beautiful snowman” of gigantic proportions.
And the word “schneeman” itself, that is, “snowman”, originally appeared in the German language.
The image of a snowman first appeared as an illustration for a children's book with songs published in Leipzig.
The first snowmen were portrayed as evil, ferocious snow monsters of impressive size. This is no coincidence, because in those ancient times, merciless winters with severe frosts and dank blizzards brought a lot of trouble. Most likely, it was then that beliefs appeared that snowmen pose a real threat to people. They thought that it was dangerous to sculpt them during the full moon: for a person, disobedience could result in obsessive nightmares, night terrors, and generally all sorts of failures. And in Norway there was a legend that it was dangerous to look at snowmen late in the evening from behind a curtain. In addition, it was considered a bad sign to encounter a snowy figure at night: it was recommended to avoid it.
Only in the 19th century did the snow creatures “get older” and soon became an indispensable attribute of Christmas and New Year. Greeting cards with image
A cute smiling snowman surrounded by cheerful children quickly gained popularity.
It is curious that in the minds of European peoples, a snowman is always a male creature; they never had snow women or snow maidens. In English there is only one word for it - “snowman”
According to an old European parable, Saint Francis of Assisi considered the creation of snowmen to be a unique method of fighting demons.
And according to another Christian legend, snowmen are angels. After all, snow is a gift from heaven. This means that the snowman is none other than an angel who can convey people’s requests to God.
For this, a little snowman was sculpted from freshly fallen snow and their wish was quietly whispered to him.
They believed that as soon as the snow figure melted, the wish would immediately be taken to heaven and soon come true.
In Europe, snowmen were always made next to houses, generously decorated with garlands and household utensils, wrapped in scarves, and given branchy brooms. The mystical nature can be discerned in the details of their “robes”.
For example, a nose in the shape of a carrot was attached to appease the spirits who sent harvests and fertility.
An inverted bucket on the head symbolized prosperity in the house.
In Romania, there has long been a known custom of decorating a snowman with “beads” made from garlic heads. It was believed that this promoted the health of household members and protected them from the mischief of dark forces.
Wonderful children's fairy tales are dedicated to snowmen. The most famous is the fairy tale by H. H. Andersen “The Snowman”. The dog tells the snowman about his life, about people and about the stove where he loved to warm himself when he was a puppy.
And the snowman also had an inexplicable desire to get closer to the stove; it seemed to him that something was moving inside him. All day long, instead of enjoying the bitter frost, he was sad, looking at the stove through the window...
Spring has come and the snowman has melted. And only then was an explanation for his sadness found: the snowman was fixed on a poker, which moved in him at the sight of his native stove.
The hero of another good German fairy tale by Mandy Vogel, “The Brown Snowman's Dream,” is a chocolate snowman. He dreams of seeing snow, and his friend, the boy Tim, takes him outside. The snowman is delighted with the white winter day and children playing snowballs. In the end, the chocolate snowman himself becomes covered in snow, he sincerely rejoices at this, thinking that now he is as white as everyone else.
But Tim, seeing that his fabulous brown friend is still far from perfect whiteness, does not dare to disturb his happiness.
In Rus', snowmen have been sculpted since ancient pagan times and were revered as the spirits of winter. They, like Frost, were treated with due respect and asked for help and to reduce the duration of severe frosts. By the way, snow women and the Snow Maiden are our Russian heritage. Our ancestors believed that winter natural phenomena (fog, snow, blizzards) were controlled by female spirits. Therefore, to show them their respect, they sculpted snow women.
It’s not for nothing that the expression “mother winter” or “father frost” exists. And the month of January was sometimes even called that - “snowman”. For our people, the snowman is one of the favorite New Year's characters.
In the glorious Soviet cartoons “The Postman Snowman” and “When the Christmas Trees Light Up,” the snowman appears as Santa Claus’ faithful assistant
Snowman - as a symbol of the New Year is depicted on greeting cards
Today, in our civilized world, creating snow figures remains not only a favorite pastime for children, but also a socially organized holiday.
Worldwide records are being set for making the tallest snowmen.
Tallest snowman in Europe
flaunts on the slopes of a ski resort in Austria, in the city of Galtür: its height reached 16 meters 70 centimeters
Tallest snowman in the USA
And the record for creating the tallest snowman in the world was set in
United States of America in 1999, its height is 37 meters 20 centimeters, and its weight is 6 thousand tons of snow.
The tallest snowman in Russia
Height:
9 meters 40 cm
Moscow 2013
“Snowman Parade” is held in Moscow
In Moscow for several years in a row at the estate of Father Frost in Kuzminsky Park
The annual Snowman Parade competition is held.
Our snow figures may only be as tall as a person, but their number (several dozen) is very impressive!
The smallest snowman
British scientist David Cox from London
The National Physical Laboratory created the smallest snowman in the world.
This snowman is 5 times thinner than a human hair, the diameter of the balls is less than 0.01mm.
In order to examine this interesting snowman, you will need a microscope.
A scientist made a snowman from two tiny tin circles. David Cox made the funny snowman's eyes and smile using a focused beam of ions; he used the ions to attach his platinum nose.
January 18 International Snowman Day
Such a great idea came to the mind of collector Cornelius Grötz from Germany.
He began collecting snowman images as a young man and entered the Guinness Book of Records with his collection in 2008!
It has more than three thousand exhibits! And all these are Snowmen! And this collector suggested celebrating Snowman Day.
Cornelius thought like this:
Firstly, in mid-January there is snow in many countries.
Secondly, the number 18 looks like a Snowman holding a broom.
Thirdly, fortunately, there was no international holiday on this day yet!
In addition, the Snowman can become a symbol for actions to protect the environment, because Snowmen are terribly afraid
warming. It will become warmer everywhere, the snow will disappear, and with it the Snowman
In Russia, Snowman Day is celebrated on February 28th.
so we are lucky: we have the opportunity to celebrate twice!!!
This day is a good reason to get together
family, have fun.

Snowmen fill courtyards and streets, stand on the threshold of schools and kindergartens, shops and even business centers, because not only children want a piece of a fairy tale, but also big aunts and uncles who work tirelessly all day long. And since adults love the snowman so much, what can we say about children, they simply adore and idolize him, considering him one of the main symbols of winter, of course after Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, no one has yet surpassed them in popularity and expectation.
However, almost none of those who love the snowman so much know the supernatural meaning it had in the past...

SNOWMAN Compiled by: Kiseleva S.V. Moscow 2014
The most fun winter activity is making a snowman. Winter has come and in every yard, as if by magic, funny snowmen wrapped in scarves appeared.
The first snowmen were portrayed as evil. In ancient times, winters were bitterly cold, so it was believed that snowmen posed a real threat to people.
If you believe the old legend, at the end of the 15th century, around 1493, the Italian sculptor, architect, poet Michelangelo Buonarroti first sculpted a snow figure.
The image of a snowman first appeared as an illustration for a children's book with songs published in Leipzig.
In Europe, snowmen were always made next to houses, generously decorated with garlands and household utensils, wrapped in scarves, and given branchy brooms. A carrot-shaped nose was attached to appease the spirits who sent harvests and fertility. An inverted bucket on the head symbolized prosperity in the house.
There are different types of snowmen
1. American. They are obviously made to last for centuries, to withstand several winters. Americans clearly approach snow sculpting with imagination. And they are also somehow unrealistically kind.
2. In Florida, of course, there is a lot of snow, but this nuance clearly does not stop the Americans. Christmas spirit...
3 Finnish. They are so simple and uncomplicated
4. Japanese... They are, of course, crazy, but whatever you want, they are sculpted in Japan.
5. French... Those with sophistication - both dressed in tailcoats and with a hat.
English... They are unique. They have problems with snow there. But I want snowmen. The result is “unfortunate” snowmen against the background of grass. Poor people melting in the rain.
Where else but in Russia to sculpt something out of snow!
In the glorious Soviet cartoons “The Postman Snowman” and “When the Christmas Trees Light Up,” the snowman acts as Santa Claus’s faithful assistant around the house.
Snowman Day is February 18th. The number 18 looks like a snowman holding a broom. On this day, a snowman is made by the whole family, with friends or alone. In this case, you need to make a wish, one for everyone or each one - his own.
The snowman is depicted on greeting cards as a symbol of the New Year.

Specialists from the London National Physical Laboratory have created the smallest snowman in the world. The figurine is 5 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.
In February 2008, in the city of Bethel (USA), the largest snowman in the world was built in 2 weeks and called it “Olympia SnowWoman”. She even has an official website with a blog and photographs, history of creation and other information. The height of the snowman is as much as 37 meters, and medium-sized trees serve as his arms. The “snow woman” melted already in the middle of June.

Snowman can be found everywhere...
Many poems have been written about the snowman
Poems about a snowman Snowman V. Stepanov One - hand, two - hand - We are making a snowman! Three - four, three - four, Let's draw a wider mouth! Five - let's find carrots for the nose, Let's find coals for the eyes. Six - let's put our hat on askew. Let him laugh with us. Seven and eight, seven and eight, We will ask him to dance. Nine - ten - snowman Over the head - somersault!!! What a circus! What a circus!
A clumsy-looking fellow, He stood majestically in the yard, Even though he had a ladle on his head, He doesn’t look like an eccentric. He is not afraid of frost, We cannot compare with him in this. His eyes are a black coal, he is sad and lonely! To cheer him up, we need to make a friend. There will be two Snowmen in one hand!
Snowman We made a snowball... - You will become a snowman! We'll put two on top. The top one is the head. The nose is a carrot. This time! Two - glass instead of eyes. And with beets, when counting “three!”, we draw a mouth. Look! Legs are sneakers, arms are branches. We took the skis from Svetka... The snowman smiled and V. Chernyaeva raced off into the forest on skis
The Adventure of the Snowman Olga Korneeva Once upon a time there was a Snowman: His mouth was a blade of grass, his nose was a twig. All the animals were friends with him and often came to visit him. He was walking past a Christmas tree, and wolves met him! He hears them whispering: “Bend the branches lower!” - The four of us will quickly cut down this tree with an axe! - These trees are of no use - Only wounds from needles! The snowman was not confused. He immediately rushed through the forest: - Hey, little animals, help, save our Christmas tree! The animals ran to the Christmas tree. Well, the wolves got scared and ran away. Well done, Snowman!

- 20. L. Shaitanova Snowman Why are you standing and waiting, my friend: T. Marshalova Lump, lump and lump? Coals are eyes, nose is a carrot, Snowman, carrot nose, And you hold the whisk deftly. I went out into the frost in the morning. I feel great here, I took a shovel to clear the snow, New Year is knocking on the door, I took a broom to sweep, I took Santa Claus and the blizzard and I took my sleigh to go into the forest. They make a friend for me and bring some firewood. And then bake a gingerbread, Snowman Invite V. Chernyaev's bunny to visit, We made a snowball... A bear, a squirrel and a hedgehog, - You will become a snowman! Sparrow and bullfinch. We'll put two on top. Come, forest people! The top one is the head. The snowman is waiting for you to visit. The nose is a carrot. This time! Two - glass instead of eyes. And with beets, when counting “three!”, we draw a mouth. Look! Legs are sneakers, arms are branches. We took the skis from Svetka... The snowman smiled and skied off into the forest.
- 21. Snowman. To see the carrot-nose, the moon rose above him. There is a bucket on his head, and a broom in his hand. They ring my doorbell quietly, but he stands there, not breathing. Button-eyes don’t tremble... Can’t he hear? But at midnight the rooster’s crow grew to the very stars, And at that very moment my snowman Rubbed his nose with his palm. He waved his broom, stepped on the ice And now he’s dancing and singing, And on his heels Jolly Santa Claus is coming. Walter De La Mare (translated by V. Lunin).
- 22. Riddles about the snowman A complex man: Appears in winter, And disappears in spring, Because he melts quickly. He appeared in the yard in cold December. Clumsy and funny, standing by the skating rink with a broom. Our friend got used to the winter wind... We made a snowball, put a hat on it, attached a nose and in an instant it turned out... What an absurd person made his way into the twenty-first century. Carrot nose, broom in hand, Afraid of the sun and heat. Carrot nose, broom in hand, Afraid of snow and heat.
