the origin of festival in each country.

I think this topic is quite interesting as you can see.Many countries have their own festival means something from the past. It may be come from religion, social norm, reflecting to culture. Like in Thailand we have Song-kran day in the mid of april because in that time will be the hottest period in Thailand. We have the festival that celebrating over the country and local festival that is happend ineach area like Haae Nang Maw, for asking the rain from God. In Japan they have many festival that is local festival, I think it is interesting to know the origin of all these festival. It always be the trick of the ancester way to force the next generation have still done.
