During roaming in the cities of the world, sometimes a city celebrates one of its festivals, and sometimes you intend to travel to a particular city, at a specific time, because you want to witness the rituals of its famous feast. Historical or related to religious or astronomical timings, or to the seasons of planting and harvesting. Visiting the countries of Central Asia, some of whose culture and language extend to Persian origin, find the celebrations of the Nowruz or Nowruz festival, which means the new day, and it comes in the third week of the third month of the year. , which is a celebration of the Persian and Kurdish New Year, and coincides with the advent of spring, and in India there is a similar festival to it in celebration and pride in colours, the Festival of Colors “Holi”, where the colors called “Gulal” are scattered as protection from the evil prince who gathers people in a great holocaust, In very clean Singapore, I witnessed once, with the beginning of the celebration of the Chinese year, the festival of burning money, when the authorities allow people to desecrate the streets, and throw dirt by burning counterfeit paper money, to bring good luck and expel evil, without any offense, and on the island of “Bali” I attended A strange celebration, huh? And the “Feast of Silence”, where people sit in their homes to meditate, contemplate and contemplate, and burn temple statues, and in order to respect this lunar occasion, the authorities force foreign tourists to stay in hotels, and not make any noise in order to preserve the sanctity of the residents’ silence.
In the French city of Avignon, there is its annual festival, which began as a small festival specializing in theater performances in the space of space. With time, the “Avignon d’Ivoire” festival became a global festival, and came out of the theater to embrace all arts, contain them, and present them in the space of nowhere. Two weeks of fun, glamor and culture, and seeing creativity in its different and crazy schools, but he will not regret, as much as he regrets, that he did not see this city that harassed man, and do not let him pass without seeing his nails scribbled on its ancient walls!
In a small village in the southwest of France called “Moncrabeau”, I once witnessed a festival to choose the Maharaja of Liars or the King of Liars. Surprisingly, the festival of lies has one slogan, and one oath, which is the opposite of the oath that you swear in the courts, so instead of putting your hand on a holy book, you put your finger under your eye, and open it a little, in the manner of the French when they do not believe your speech, and they want to accuse you of being a liar in a diplomatic way , This section says: I swear to hide the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the false truth. The arbitration in this competition is amazing, as its committee consists of forty members, including men and women, and each member of the jury expresses his opinion on the liar’s lie, by pouring between a spoon and ten spoons of salt in a bag in his hands, and the owner of the heaviest bag is crowned the king of liars, or what the literal translation states, “The Greatest Corrector of All Truths.” At the conclusion of the coronation, the king grants a certificate that gives him the right to lie without being subjected to any punishment or accountability!
