The Big Pile of Wood on Fire!

Valborg
Valborg is held on the eve of the first
of May. Valborg is a huge bomb fire held in the middle of a park in every area
of Sweden, or where people live! The reason why there is a bomb fire is to
scare away predators from grazing animals. This is not need in the city but in
the country side that is why! Everyone in the area shows up to the bomb fire
and wait around talking until it is lit by around 10 people with fire on sticks
around the huge pile of wood and then the wood goes up in flames!!! Fireworks
are set off and the fire keeps on burning!

Hi annie
ReplyDeleteFrom the beginning (Valborg), was a spring festival. When Christianity was introduced the celebration was merged with and got its name from a German saint. Nowadays it is all about getting drunk and singing at the fire.
