Statuettes (called caganers) of well-known people defecating are a strong Christmas tradition in Catalonia, Spain dating back to the 18th century as Catalonians hide them in Christmas Nativity scenes and invite friends to find them. The figures symbolize fertilization, hope and prosperity for the coming year.
