Overview of the best festivals in the world
Experienced travelers say that you can get acquainted with the culture of a particular state by visiting a traditional holiday or festival. Every year, a huge number of various festivals are held in the world, striking in their scale and beauty. Here we will talk about the most unusual festivals.
The religious holiday of Mardi Gras in many countries is quite peaceful and resembles our Maslenitsa. But in New Orleans, this holiday has turned into an endless series of spectacular entertainment. For example, colorful costume processions take place here, parades and fun parties are held. The Bacchus parade is especially popular with locals and guests of the carnival. Imagine a series of platforms, each of which is decorated in honor of some vicious hobby (cards, booze, etc.).
As you know, Japan is considered one of the most unusual countries in the world with a unique culture and traditions. So, in this highly developed state, a festival is held ... "Iron Penis" ("Kanamara"). In fairness, it should be noted that the Japanese themselves consider this holiday a symbol of childbirth and fertility. The beginning of the holiday takes place near Tokyo, in the temple of the city of Kawasaki. It is noteworthy that the temple was built with the money of women of the ancient profession, who prayed here for protection from "bad" diseases. The celebration lasts a week and ends with a procession, the participants of which carry phalluses of various sizes and colors.
One of the main holidays in Italy is the horse racing in the city of Siena called "Palio". This holiday takes place twice a year and has a long history. The peculiarity of the races is that they take place on the main square of Siena. In addition, the participants in the races are completely devoid of honor and act contrary to the accepted rules, that is, they build all sorts of obstacles to their opponents. After the races, guests can enjoy lavish feasts, parades and performances by circus performers.
Nowhere else in the world will you see such an Easter celebration as in Antigua Guateamala. The beginning of the holiday falls on the first day of Lent. Throughout the week, religious parades and processions take place along the city streets strewn with colored sand and flower petals. The scent of incense lingers in the air, and almost every building is draped in black crepe. At the festival, you can see representations of the trial and execution of the Savior, which amaze the imagination with their realism.
