The Snake Festival

Every year on the first Thursday in May the small village of Cocullo in Italy sees Thousands of visitors. They are all arriving to see the annual Snake Festival. The festival is held on Saint Dominic’s Day. Saint Dominic lived in the town in the 11^th century. At that time there were many snakes in the village and many people died of snakebite. Saint Dominic got rid of the snakes and the people of Cocullo hold this festival every year to remember him. For some weeks before the festival, people collect snakes and then, on Saint Dominic’s Day, they put all the snakes on a statue of Saint Dominic. At midday they carry the statue and the snakes in a procession through the village. At the front of the procession is a band playing music and at the back are women in costume who gives sweets and bread shaped like snakes to the people who are watching. At the end of the procession there are fireworks.

The Hong Kong Bun Festival

This festival is held on the island on Cheung Chau in Hong Kong in early May every year, around the time of Buddha’s birthday. The festival celebrates the god Pak Tai, who drove pirates and illness away from the island. In the festival, the islanders pray for safety from pirates and illness. The festival lasts for seven days. For three of those days everyone on the island is a vegetarian. There is a procession through the village with lion dances, dragon dances and musicians. In the procession children in colourful costumes are carried high above people’s heads. The islanders make three 20-metre high bamboo towers and cover these with buns. At midnight on the last day people light fires and then climb the towers to get the buns. They wear bags on their backs to collect buns and when they come down from the towers, they give them to everyone who is watching. Then everyone celebrates with fireworks.

Text C

May Day

The first of May is called May Day in Britain. This is a very old festival held to celebrate the first day of summer. Many towns and villages still hold traditional May Day celebrations. Some towns and villages decorate the streets and houses with flowers. In others, there is dancing and people put up a Maypole. There is a tall pole with coloured ribbons hanging from the top. The dancers take a ribbon each and dance around the pole. As they dance, the ribbons make a colourful pattern around the Maypole. It is also traditional to choose a May Queen and crown her. She wears a white dress and a crown of flowers and walks at the front of a procession through the streets. In Padstow, a village in the south-west, two men dress up as horses and everyone follows them through the streets singing an old song. In another village there is a ‘Cheese Rolling’ competition. Everyone goes to the top of a very steep hill. A big round cheese is rolled down the hill and everyone tries to chase it. The winner gets free cheese for twenty years.

Nauryz

Nauryz is a very important holiday in Kazakhstan, which marks the beginning of a new year. It is celebrated several days starting from 21st of March, when night and day are identical. Nauryz symbolizes goodness and wealth, happiness and love and a great friendship day. During the Nauryz holiday, large and small cities, villages become festival centers, yurts – traditional nomad houses are erected in city centers and rich dastarkhan is laid down in each of them. City squares get full of yurts, and many performances take place there. Here one can learn about the culture and lifestyle of nomads and find people wearing beautiful national clothes, listen to Kazakh songs and national musical instruments. In holiday exhibitions and fairs traditional gifts and souvenirs are sold.

Usually young people gather around altybakan, which is a large hanging swing, with colourful decorations, where songs are sung, and traditional games are played. Nauryz kozhe is the most important of all meals during these days and a main symbol of Nauryz. Nauryz kozhe is special for its unique recipe. Traditionally, 7 different ingredients are added to Nauryz kozhe, which may vary, but basically these ingredients include: meat, water, salt, airan, wheat, rice and raisin. Seven ingredients symbolize growth, luck, happiness, wealth, health, wisdom. During the celebration of Nauryz, the kozhe is offered to all guests.
