The Caganer is a beloved Catalan Christmas tradition featuring a figurine of a peasant pooping, symbolizing fertility, good luck, and prosperity for the coming year, with its droppings fertilizing the land in the nativity scene. While the exact origin is debated, the tradition became popular in the 18th century, with the figure representing the farmer's contribution to the earth, ensuring a bountiful harvest, and is now available as various famous figures.
