Opening of the festival
This is today,that starts this special event in my hometown,Miskolc.
Did you happen to hear about the famous Meat Jelly Festival of Miskolc?
It may sound weirdly and funny to you,istn't it?
This part of the year is all about festivals,carnevals and balls(dancing parties),it's an old tradition in order to celebrate the on-coming spring,and the rebirth of the nature.
This year is a special one,because this program has started a decade ago,in february 2000.
Various interesting programms are organized,everyone can find something he/she is interested in.
Frogs are mascots of the festival

I did't know about Marzanna,it's interesting!We do a similaire thing,to bury winter.
We lay a big fire,and burn a huge doll,simbolizing winter.
Imagine,that my grandparents belong to the slovak minority here,and speak slovak.(But they don't keep this ritual.)
I understand too a litle bit,and a very very little polish too.
