During the Jinhae festival in early April, South Korea is freshened up with cherry blossoms bloom. For ten days Jinhae is full of tourists enjoying the fragrant air, taking pictures as they pass along petal-littered paths, and eating traditional food.

While the official festival lasts for 3 days, from 14th to 16th of April, celebrations are prone to last more than a week. Specifically in Luang Prabang, where the holiday is at its most festive, with colorful ceremonies, dances, costumes and even boat races on the Mekong River.
The food of Boun Pi Mai
Among the most served dishes are the sticky rice and green papaya salad. Meats like chicken and pork are grilled and Lao Pho, eggrolls, stews and many desserts are also present.

sticky rice

Green papaya salad

In Luang Prabang there is a yearly beauty pageant with 7 contestants signifying the seven daughters of "Ca-Bin-Ra-Pom". People also decorate their Buddha statues with flowers and it is customary to free things, so many people free birds from their cages to make merit.

Above everything, the Lao people celebrate the holiday with their family and each household has their own traditions.

What do people do?

The Celebration

Sand also plays a big role, as people bring it into temple grounds, where it is made into stupas(mounds) and decorated, before being given to the monks as a sign of merit.

The main centerpoint of the holiday is Water. People wash their homes, the Buddha statues/images, monks and any friends or passer-bys on the street. The younger generation uses water to wash their elders' hands and feet as a sign of respect. The water is also perfumed with natural perfumes or simply flowers.

Long, long ago, there was a rich and kind couple, who loved each other very much, but despite it, couldn't have a child. So one day, the man performed an ancient ceremony and through the success of it, a deity was reincarnated as their child. His name was Tham-Ma Barn.

Over the years, Tham-Ma-Barn received special education and training and he grew up to be clever and knowledgeable, to the point where he knew the answer to every question he was asked.

Hearing about the extraordinary reputation of Tham-Ma-Barn, a deity named Ca-Bin-Ra-Pom came down on earth to test his knowledge and wisdom. He said to him:

"I will ask you three questions and give you seven days. If you cannot answer them in time, I will cut your head as a sacrifice to the teachings of Buddha. However, if you answer them all correctly, I shall cut my own head out of respect."

Tham-Ma-Barn agreed to the god's terms and the questions given to him were:

One, where is the virtue of a person in the morning?

Two, where is the virtue of a person at noon?

Three, where is the virtue of a person in the evening?

For a long time Tham-Ma-Barn couldn't figure out the solutions, however, through a bit of luck and cunning, he was able to get his hands on them. When the time came for him to give the answers to Ca-Bin-Ra-Pom, he did and he was right. His answer was:

"In the morning, the person's virtue is on the face, because when a person wakes up they wash their face. At noon, the virtue of a person is on the chest and the body, because they put water on the chest and take a bath. In the evening, the virtue of a person is on the feet, because they wash their feet before going to bed"

The god acknowledged that Tham-Ma-Barn had won, however, because his head was so holy and dangerous, he made preparations before he cut it. So every year one of his 'daughters' is required to parade his head around the earth's axis and bathe it in clean and perfumed water, so as to give prosperity and rain to the people.

What do they eat??

New Year's Day is the most important day of the year in Japanese tradition

Why do they celebrate?

HOW DID IT BEGIN?

Omisoka is the last day of the year (New Year's Еve) in Japanese. Its origin is Misoka which is the last of the month, Omisoka consists of Misoka and O, which means big.

Some people stay awake (or wake up very early) to see the first sunrise as this is supposed to bring good luck for the new year.

Japanese people celebrate the Omisoka with special dinner at home, involving friends and family, and of course traditional Japanese foods.

Kohaku Uta Gassen is a nation-wide New Year's talent competition, where singers and artists are divided into two groups: red and white to compete in singing.

Cooking on January 1st (as well as going out, cleaning, even taking a bath) is considered to bring bad luck,. That's why japanese people try to finish everything before the new year hits.

Kaga mochi is a traditional decoration. Those are two rice cakes, the smaller on top of the larger one, and a daidai as a good omen.

In preparation for a new year and a clean slate people purify their homes and remove last year's clutter by cleaning from top to bottom.
Toshikoshi-soba Udon Noodle Osechi Ozoni
New Year's Day is the most important day of the year in Japanese tradition, and therefore New Year's Eve - omisoka - is spent doing a thorough clean of the house, taking a long bath to clean oneself, and making sure one has clean clothes to wear in order to bring in the New Year in a fresh, clean state, not just in body, but in mind as well.

At midnight temples toll their bell 108 times to signify human desires that cause suffering. they also hand out a traditional sweet drink called Amazake. The toll of the large bell is called joya-no-kane.

December 31st, or New Years Eve, is Omisoka in Japan. Misoka day refers to the last day of the month and so people came to call the last day of the year "Omisoka" for "big misoka day". The last night of the year on omisoka day is called jo-ya night. Jo-ya night means "the night to remove last year's evil". On the lunisolar calendar, a new day started with a sunset, people came to think jo-ya night was the beginning of a new year. On jo-ya night, Toshigami-sama god came down to visit and it was tradition for people to stay up all night to welcome the god. Today people follow this tradition by visiting shrines or temples at midnight on omisoka, although many of them are not even aware of the tradition.
