The subject our group has been talking about is traditions. After talking with our German friends for a while, the two Romanian girls, and the teachers representing the other countries we’ve seen that our most important traditions aren’t very different.

Christmas is celebrated in similar ways by each country. The kings, the Noel or even the “Tió” in Catalonia are the ones which bring the presents to the children.

The New year Eve is the same as well. People stay awake until the next day, adults or even children in Germany drink and Catalans eat a grape in each strike of the clock when it’s twelve o’clock.

These casualties are repeated in other festivities like Easter, Carnival, first of May or St. Valentine’s day.

Now we’re going to write about a typical tradition in each country that isn’t common in any other. 

In Catalonia, for example, St. Jordi is on of the most important and special days of the year. The 23th of April all the Catalan people celebrate the legend of a hero called Jordi who saved a princess from a dragon. In the place where the dragon died  grew a rose from his blood. This is why in St Jordi every boy gives a rose to a girl who loves, the daughter or even a friend. The girls buy a book for the boy.

In Aiud, Romania, they have the Earth day, when everyone makes posters, goes out the street and does demonstrations for the peace in the world.

In Germany they have the "Schützenfest":
The best shooter in the village is the king and everybody drinks beer. This festival is a sort of military tradition in every village.

In Olginate, Itlay. They celebrate the day of the Liberty, the 25th of April, the end of the Mundial war.

Finally, in Cusset, France, they celebrate the National Festivity, the 14th of July. In the villages, the people dance in the square and in the cities there are militar walks.
