The Catalan Caganer is one of the world's most unique Christmas traditions. Also known as "the pooping shepherd," the Caganer is an earthy figure, depicted as he is engaged in the most mundane of human tasks. Caganers are traditionally tucked away in the back of Catalan nativity scenes, and finding them is a favorite Christmas pastime for children. Caganers have been a Catalan tradition for hundreds of years, and recently personalized figures of political, sporting and entertainment personalities have become popular in Spain and throughout Europe. Caganer Shop was created to spread the tradition of these delightfully quirky figurines.
