This is an absolutely fascinating tradition because it stems from pagan rituals that are very old and common among Central and some Eastern European mountain populations.

Paganism is so much more fun.

The Shell Grotto, sometimes called the Shell Temple, is an ornate underground shell grotto in the seaside town of Margate, Kent, England. The grotto, which has a passageway and main room, was dug out from chalk, a soft limestone common in this region. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, with approximately 4.6 million shells. Its age, creators, and purpose are unknown, which has inspired a wide range of speculation, although several other shell grottos in England were made in the 18th century. This grotto was rediscovered in about 1835 and first opened to the public as a privately-owned tourist attraction in 1837.[1] The grotto is a Grade I-listed building[1] and remains open to the public. Attached to the grotto is a modern museum room, cafe, and gift shop.[2]
