Stuffy-guy

[Letti]

Stuffy-guy - This word is used by the folks in Mejis. It means scarecrow. They have an important role at the end of the year when Fin de ano is celebrated. The people paint the hands of these stuffy-guys red and burn them on bonfires.

I understand the concept of stuffy guys. Even burning them. But why the red hands? :cowboy:

[Daghain]

I think it might have been to symbolize blood. Just a guess though.

[Letti]

If I remember well it symbolized the sins of the folks. I am not sure. I will try to find it in W&G.

In English idiom, "Red-Handed" means guilty.

A-ha! Caught you red-handed!
