Today is Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day), one of the most beloved traditional holidays in Catalonia ❤️ the day of literature, love, and the Catalan language.

In these two images, you can find an explanation of this tradition. The first photo is an auca, a way of explaining stories with drawings and rhymes that is traditional from Catalonia and has been very popular between the 1600s and the 1930s and to a lesser extent still done nowadays.

I wish everyone a happy Sant Jordi with lots of books and love, and in a time when the right-wing furiously attacks our language and culture, a day of fight for Catalan language and literature.

traditional cross-dressing on ukrainian malanka holiday. the woman is dressed as vasyl (folk adaptation of st. basil) and the man is dressed as malanka (folk adaptation of st. melania).

during this holiday, ukrainians honor the ancestral spirits and imitate them by dressing as animals and opposite genders, since it is believed that the otherworld blurs the line between male and female, as well as between man and beast.

And... almost!

For a castell to be successful, the group has to be able to go up and come down without falling. There is usually applause when they crown the castell, but the big clapping and cheering is when all members are back on the ground.

It's not unusual to see castellers fall every so often. Don't worry too much, it's less dramatic than it looks like. Notice how the structure collapses on itself, never falling to the sides. The bottom people act as a pillow for those on top, that's why everyone at the bottom always knows to keep their head looking down, to avoid being hurt if the tower falls on them.
