Celebrations in Europe

The European celebrations are joy filled and have a unique flavour of enjoying their lives in their own special way. The celebrations consist of traditional rituals, film festival, carnivals, and bizarre types. July and August bring a lot of festivity and cheer in the form of the tomato fights of Bunole, in Spain, When, in the last Wednesday of August, the town turns into a bowl of tomato sauce. The running of the bulls occurs in the narrow streets of Pamplona Spain in the week of July the sixth to the fourteenth. The people of Cooper’s Hill of England roll cheese down hills and the people of Palio Italy enjoy bareback, breakneck horse racing on July second and August sixteenth. The Christian holidays time of year is fun and festive time to be anywhere in The European continent from a few weeks before the holiday until January 6. Fortunately, so far in Europe, The Christian holidays have not yet been completely commercialized.
There are crèches or, nativity scenes, in chapels and public squares all over Europe. Some are modern and others are traditional. In the town of Oberndorf, north of Salzburg, Austria where Silent Night, a Christmas carol, is sung with gusto on the eve of the Christian holidays, it is hard to fathom that on the very next day the world can watch the pope lean out his window in Rome at noon to give a mass blessing broadcast on December 25th.
