Many Turks give away sweets and desserts during the festival, and children may watch free Turkish shadow plays. melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229487813 2018-02-08 10:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229487813 Many people wake up early on the first day of the Ramadan Feast. They put on their best clothes, called bayramlık, which they often buy specifically for the occasion, and have a large breakfast. This symbolizes the end of the fasting period, which many Muslims observe during the preceding month of Ramadan.The Ramadan Feast has an alternative name in Turkey, the Sugar Feast (Şeker Bayramı), because people treat their guests to sweets and traditional desserts during the festival. It is customary to visit one's relatives, especially older ones, and kiss their hand as a sign of respect. Children may go door-to-door, kissing hands of the grown-ups and receiving sweets and small amounts of money in return.Turkish shadow plays, such as Karagöz and Hacivat, are popular during the Ramadan Feast, and children can watch these plays at fairs free of charge. In a more recent tradition, some people use the official holiday to travel abroad or go to Turkish resorts. melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488074 2018-02-08 10:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488074 The Ramadan Feast is an official holiday that continues for three days in Turkey. Administration buildings, schools and most businesses are closed during this period. Public transport may run less frequently, and fares are usually lower compared to regular days. Highways may be overcrowded, especially in the morning of the first day and in the afternoon of the last day of the Ramadan Feast, as many people travel on these days. melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488319 2018-02-08 10:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488319 The symbols of the Ramadan Feast include:A new moon.Sweets or traditional desserts.A cup of Turkish tea or coffee. melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488472 2018-02-08 10:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488472 melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488782 2018-02-08 10:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229488782 melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229489392 2018-02-08 10:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229489392 Shadow plays melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229527274 Hacivat & Karagöz (name of the characters)]]> 2018-02-08 12:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229527274 Baklava melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229527842 Traditional deserts]]> 2018-02-08 12:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229527842 Turkish coffee melihtopaloglu1983 https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229528272 2018-02-08 12:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/229528272 What is it ? olga_mosca https://padlet.com/melihtopaloglu1983/v6z84db1lwal/wish/230399729 Carnival is the happiest celebration of the year and seems like it has been made for the children who love to dress up, mask and throw confettis.

Carnuval 'n filastrocca

Carnuvale 'n filastrocca
cu 'na maschera 'ncopp 'a vocca
cu 'na maschera 'ncopp all'uocchie
che pezz alle dnocchie.
So' 'e pezz d'Arlecchino
vestuto 'e carta, poverino !
Pullecenella è gruosso e ghianco
strille e abballa cu 'e  mman
'ncopp  e cianc.
Culumbina, assaj bellella ,

E 'a gente a copp' 'a fenesta
tutt 'o juorne guarda 'a festa
" E' Carnuvale
e ogni scherzo oggi vale " !

Carnival in rhyms
with the mask on the mouth
with the mask on the eyes
with patches on the knees.
They are the Harlequin's patches
poorly dressed paper dress
Pulcinella is big and white
scream and dance whit his hands
above the hips.
The beautiful Colombina
is whit him pretty so much
and people at the window
all days watch the party :
" It's Carnival and
every joke today is worth "!

Carnevale in filastrocca
con la maschera sulla bocca
con la maschera sugli occhi
con le toppe sui ginocchi.
Son le toppe di Arlecchino
vestito di carta, poverino !
Pulcinella è grosso e bianco
strilla e balla  con le mani
sopra i fianchi.
La bella Colombina
è con lui assai carina.
E la gente alla finestra
tutto il giorno guarda la festa :
" E' Carnevale
e ogni scherzo oggi vale  ! "
