Features: Special days are moments of joy and reunion, and also opportunities to celebrate the deeper meaning of life. They connect us with the cycles of the earth and help us measure the passage of time. Importantly, they are deeply rooted in folk traditions. The book "Folk Festivals" tells us about winter festivals, such as Christmas and the Festival of Lights, late winter festivals, such as Valentine's Day; spring rituals, such as Easter and the Asian New Year; summer festivals, such as Independence Day; autumnal festivals, such as Halloween and the Day of the Dead; and gratitude festivals, such as Thanksgiving and the Feast of Tabernacles. Festivals and holidays bring us together. They remind us who we are, where we come from, and what we believe in. As we move through the cycles of time, folk festivals grant us strength.
