RE: Travel writing contest! Win 100 STEEM [Support travelfeed.io]
Wonderful initiative to support the great team of travelfeed.io, thanks so much, @invisusmundi, here is my entry, enjoy! :)))
I don't know if this particular story is my best writing, my focus is photography and as of now I have 20 #travelfeed photo stories but it's the newest one and I loved that festival, so here is the link:

Thank you for all the support!
Have a great photo! :P
I am getting more and more interested in ancient traditions. Some of us think that our ancestors were primitive people, but I think it is quite the opposite. I've been reading one book lately. It's about ancient symbols used for national clothes and decorations. We were taught that they were only decorations, but actually, they symbolize all the mechanisms of the universe. Our traditions hide great secrets. It would be great to come to this festival one day. Bulgaria and Lithuania are far away from each other, but we still have a lot in common. By the way, tomorrow or today I'm gonna post a new video. It's about a Medieval Battle Festival which took place here in Lithuania. :) Thank you for sharing your experience. These photos are charming!
Thank you! I am quite sure there is much more behind the festivals and carnivals we have nowadays. Some beliefs and rituals are lost for sure and sometimes the reasons behind something we do are not clear but strangely it does help :) One thing is for sure - our ancestors were much, much close to the nature and probably understood it better, depending more on it... Folklore is amazing :)
This is the festival I was talking about @lightcaptured! What do you think? :)
