1st November

All Saint's day... This day, is very important for the Catholic church, because on this day all saints are commemorated and the following day we commemorate the dead.... This commemoration started in the IV century. At the moment on this date most people go to visit the their dead relatives in the cemetery..

chinese new year

The Chinese are famous for their culture. I think the best festival is Chinese New year! New year is a time for family get together at home. Every one eats dumplings. This is a good time for every body. I think I can tell a story. At New year, you stay at home rather than go out side because New year is god's time. If you outside, maybe you can meet the devil or good luck- god. If you meet a good luck -god .you will have good luck for one year and if you meet the devil you will have bad luck. So every chinese person sticks a god picture on the door so that the devil can not come to people's home. aha! That's only hearsay! But people do not do itnow. Another story is the devil's (the devil is a god's son) story. The devil like eating. So every year he comes to people's homes to eat but he doesn't work so people invent firecrackers to kick out the devil. Every new year is set off firecrackers now.

Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is also called the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Ferragosto 15 August

Ferragosto is a typical Italian holiday
It is a mix of religious and fun. The Christian religion celebrates this day to remember Mary's body ascending into heaven.
Also, inthe 18th century BC a Roman Emperor called Ottaviano Augusto instituted this holiday calling Ferragosto bythe Latin name Feriae Augusti (Augusto's rest)
On this day, people go to the sea at night, they eat on the beach and stay there to sleep.

Puppet Festival

Each year in my country there is a puppet festival (in Markala). This festival is very famous because lot of people participate in it.The puppets are sometimes made of wood or fabric, all of are made by African Artists.
The puppets represent aquatic, domestic or wild animals,s ometimes the puppets look like little people.
This festival takes place near the Niger river in an important cutural town in Mali call Markala.
My country's economy depends in part on tourism, so this beautiful festival is very important for us.

ramadan

Ramadan is a very special month. In ramadan I usually eat breakfast with my family and sometimes I go with my friend to the sea or restaurant and eat breakfast together. After ramadan finishes we have a 3 day holiday. On the first day in the morning we go to visit my grandmother and eat breakfast together and in the evening all the people give the children a present or money and eat dinner and the next day we go to play or to the sea and all the children are happy because they are playing .
