뜻
Snow that has a pure white color.
문화적 배경
The 'Fehér karácsony' is a cultural obsession in Hungary. If it doesn't snow on Dec 24th, it's often a lead story in the news. Many Hungarian folk songs use 'fehér hó' to set a melancholic or peaceful winter mood. The song 'Hull a pelyhes fehér hó' is the most famous song for the arrival of Mikulás (St. Nicholas). Farmers traditionally welcomed white snow as it protected the winter wheat from the 'black frost' (fekete fagy).
