    With an animated face, the log is usually supported on two to four legs made of wood, and is brought in on December 8 till Christmas. In the days leading up to Christmas, children must take good care of the log, keeping it warm and ’fed’, so that it will expel candies on Christmas Eve or Day. Image Credit: Expo 2020 Dubai

    Andorra Pavilion’s Tió has a penchant for dates and clementines. Young visitors can participate in the tradition of beating him with a stick, while the Caga tió tune is sung, before retrieving the sweet treats from behind the log. Image Credit: Expo 2020 Dubai
