SCHWEIZ SECHSELAEUTEN CHRISTOPH BLOCHER
Swiss federal councillor Christoph Blocher, center, participates as a guest of honour at the guildsmen parade through the streets of Zurich, Switzerland, Monday, April 18, 2005, on the occasion of the so called "Sechselaeuten" procession. Zurich's centuries-old spring festival of the guilds stems from the tradition of driving out evil winter spirits and welcoming the longer, milder days of spring. On Sechselaeuten-Monday, colourfully costumed guildsmen parade through Zurich to the Sechselaeuten green for the burning of the "Boeoegg", a straw effigy atop a 13-metre high bonfire, representing the "Old Man of Winter".
