Blog Posting #3 Special Event
I was actually able to attend two special events. One of these days were for Mothers Day and the next was for someones birthday.
On Mothers Day there were many women who attented this ceremony. Many of them were sitting on the ground around in a circle and there were men behind them with instruments. They were singing prayer songsand in the ceremony were offering sweet foods. They did a hand movement to signal the offering of the sweets. They also had a moment of silence which they seem to do at every ceremony they have. After the moment of silence was over the women came up with grapes laying down next to the stautes by the feet.
For the day of the mans birthday he was sitting in the middle of the floor with a flowery necklace around the neck and everyone took turns singing songs to him and after words gave him a hug. They also had many incents for the statues behind him. After the ceremony everyone had something nice to say about the man and there was also a lot of food at the end.
