Write an essay : Investigation/Evaluation of Traditions & Customs
1. Was it originally religious or secular?
2. What is it now? How does the original differ from the present and is one better or
worse than the other? If so, why?
3. Does the specific time of year in which it occurs have any special relation to the four
seasons and to other important days?
4. What are the costumes supposed to represent? What is their connection with the
ancient tradition, if any?
5. What has been lost and what, if anything, has been gained when comparing the past
with the present?
