Where Do Babies Come From?
Uploaded: October 23, 2008
Must be the Alsace region of France, which has adopted the stork as its symbol – and considers it a sign of happiness and fidelity!
Having a stork build a nest on your roof or chimney is said to bring good luck, and many homeowners encourage nesting by placing wagon wheels atop their homes. Storks are also believed to protect buildings from fire (even though 3% of nestlings die from lightning strikes). And legend has it that a child wanting a sibling can attract the stork by placing sugar cubes on an outside window sill.
Here in the marketplace around the Strasbourg Cathedral, a veritable brigade of plush baby-bringers waits to be taken home to previously delivered bundles of joy.
