Slovenia: As far as I understand it these guys scare the winter away by ringing bells, harassing women, and accepting donations. As I recall they didn't do a very good job when I was there, I was freezing for a long time.
I've been to the "spring" festivals in France and Belgium and could never get used to the fact that people were throwing oranges at me and others around them. Sure are some different ways to celebrate the change of seasons. But I love the photo anyway.
"I saw a pillar of light, exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, when the light rested upon me I saw two personages whose brightness and glory defy all description standing above me in the air, one of them spake unto me saying, pointing to the other, 'This is my Beloved Son, Hear Him.'"
That would scare me.
