The festive atmosphere begins / Germany officially opens Christmas markets

Traditional Christmas markets open this Monday across Germany.

This event attracted revelers to various wooden stands with mulled wine, grilled sausages, pancakes, potatoes or caramelized apples.

Security has been heightened, with memories of two deadly attacks on Christmas markets still fresh for many Germans.

In Berlin, the famous market at the city's Gedächtniskirche church opened with a public service on Monday morning. Other openings included Christmas markets at the Rotes Rathaus, Gendarmenmarkt and Charlottenburg Palace.

Vendors sell not only snacks and drinks, but also handmade candles, hats, mittens, and glittering Christmas stars in all colors and shapes. Children enjoy rides on zip-line carousels and skating on the ice rinks.

Christmas markets are an annual tradition that Germans have cherished since the Middle Ages and have successfully exported to much of the Western world./CNA
