On October 31 , in many countries children and adults dress up in unusual costumes. Some become witches or ghosts: others dress up as trees, goats, and in other very unusual costumes. October 31 is, of course, Halloween. This festival started in Europe and has spread to all parts of the world. However, not all celebrations spread around the world. Every country has its own singular festivals. Here are two of the more unusual ones.
The first one is Festival of Snakes. Many people are afraid of snakes. In some parts of the world, snakes are regarded as evil or, at least, dangerous. But, there is one small village in Italy where the people seem to worship snakes. They show their respect and love for snakes with a festival. This festival is held each year in the tiny village of Cocullo, which is surrounded by some of Italy’s wildest forests.
Celebrations begin on Saint Joseph’s Day, March 19, when the first snakes of the season are captured and put in cages. Two months later, on the first Thursday in May, villagers set off fireworks and then go to church. After church, the statue of Saint Domenica is carried through the streets, and villagers put the captured snakes around his statue. Then, more fireworks are set off. At the edge of the village, the snakes are set free in the forest, and the villagers believe that they are immune from snakebites for another year.
The second festival, La Tomatina, in Bunol, Spain, is very simple. Everyone throws tomatoes at each other on the last Wednesday of August. The town’s streets turn bright red as over 20, 000 people hit each other with large, red, soft tomatoes.
There are many ideas on how the festival started. The most likely explanation is that it started as a fight between poor and rich teenagers. No one knows who threw the first tomato, but somehow they began throwing tomatoes at each other.
It soon became a point of honor to meet on the same day in town. Over the years, this local e-vent has become a national event. It is no longer a war between poor and rich and is now an exciting time for young people to have a good time throwing tomatoes at everyone.
This standard uniform is an old T-shirt, old shorts, and safety glasses. Farmers bring thousands of tomatoes from around the countryside, and the festival begins with the firing of a rocket. An hour later, the end of the festival is announced with the firing of another rocket, and everyone begins to clean up the town.
