Festivals and holidays are the reflections of traditional culture of a country and also could reflect the history and customs of that country. So getting an idea about the festivals and holidays of a country, especially a country that we are not familiar with, not only expand our mind, improve our knowledge, but guide us to strange lands and experience different cultures by ourselves.
