Home dels nassos (, ) is a character in Catalan myths and legends. Home dels nassos is translated as "Man of the noses". The legend says that, on New Year's Eve, this man walks the streets and has as many noses on his face as there are days left in the year. In this way, children of Catalonia are led to believe that there is a man with 365 noses, but of course, being the last day of the year, he conveniently and ironically has only one.

Famous quotes containing the word home:
“As the saffron tints and crimson flushes of morn herald the coming day, so the social and political advancement which woman has already gained bears the promise of the rising of the full-orbed sun of emancipation. The result will be not to make home less happy, but society more holy.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
