Oktoberfest, the world's largest beer festival, originated in Munich, Germany, in 1810 to celebrate the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. It has since evolved into an annual celebration of Bavarian culture and beer. Our Socktoberfest sock is a tribute to tradition and craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from the rich history of Franciscan monks who meticulously brewed the iconic Oktoberfest beer in 16th-century Bavaria. The pattern adorning the sock features our beloved Franciscan monks, traditional German beer steins (long symbols of German beer culture), and pretzels, a quintessential Oktoberfest snack. The blue and white color scheme evokes the traditional colors of the festival, representing the Bavarian skies and clouds. With each step, embrace the legacy of the monks, the artistry of beer stein craftsmen, the joy of pretzels, and the vibrant spirit of Oktoberfest. Prost to tradition and celebration! * The Largest Catholic Sock Company… probably. * Tens of thousands of people are already wearing our socks. * These socks are sure to be a conversation starter and evangelization opportunity. * Our socks make great Catholic gifts for all occasions: First Communion, Confirmation, Ordination, Wedding, Christmas Presents, Easter Baskets, Graduation. * Proudly made in the USA by our team in Indianapolis, IN. * Each sock’s essential stitches represent the Holy Family: Tan around the inside of the cuff, representing St. Joseph as head and protector of the Holy Family. Blue (outside) and white (inside) representing Mary and Jesus stitched across the toe of every sock. * A portion of production goes to make socks for our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness in Indianapolis, IN.
