Festivals are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture and traditions. \u00a0They are meant to rejoice special moments and emotions in our lives with our loved ones. \u00a0They play an important role to add structure to our social lives, and connect us with our families and backgrounds. They give us a distraction from our day to day, exhausting routine of life, and give us some inspiration to remember the important things and moments in life. \u00a0Festivals were started to pass the legends, knowledge and traditions onto the next generation.<\/p>\n

All festivals are cultural in one way or another. \u00a0There are many types of cultural festivals such as National, Religious and Seasonal.\u00a0 They all serve the purpose of bringing happiness to our lives, and strengthen our sense of community.<\/p>\n

National Festivals: \u00a0They connect us as a people of a nation. \u00a0National festivals connect citizens to important moments of a nation\u2019s history such as: the founding day of a nation, our independence day or in Europe VE day (Victory of Europe during WWII) is celebrated throughout the continent, with many nations having a public holiday. \u00a0They solidify patriotic spirits in the society.<\/p>\n

Religious Festivals: religious festivals are important for families. \u00a0To keep this simple we can all agree that religious festivals help us to teach principles and ethics to our next generations. \u00a0All different religious festivals bring the same message of love, tolerance and understanding. \u00a0On these occasions we express our gratitude to God, for the special thing or event that originated on this particular festival.<\/p>\n

Seasonal Festivals: Seasonal festivals reflect attitude of people towards nature. \u00a0These festivals are important because they are related to food supply. \u00a0Human beings should adore the nature and acknowledge its beneficence before partaking any of its gifts.<\/p>\n

Overall in simple terms, universally all festivals are related to harmony, peace and happiness.<\/p>\n
