Festival day captures the heart
of church bells, stirring the sedative
village into boisterous frivolity.
Adjoining terraces are decorated with
multiple loud colors.
Pigeons look down from rooftops.
Shops are closed for the day.
Paper banners rattle in the wind.
Revelers dance on shaded streets,
celebrating generations of
unchanged excitement.
With arms entwined they form
circles, the old and the young
celebrating the remembrance
tradition.
