Jours de fete au Maroc (French Edition)

A festive day is a timeless appointment. Far more than a mere sign of conviviality, the festive day incites some to see where they stand in time and invites others, for one day or more, to be reconciled with tradition. A key moment in our calendar, the festive day has its own colours, expressions, rituals, actors, settings, costumes, invitations to joy and sharing. Starting point of a thousand and one ceremonies, the festive day tends to be conservative, heedful of yesterday's recommendations and today's dreams, attentive to the words of the elders and to respect of others.
