Each in their own and special way, according to culture and country: Where does the birthday child get the “Fairy Bread”? What is a Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Where does a bride get henna tattoos? Who celebrates the “Festival of Breaking the Fast”? ... and more questions on 54 other festivals around the world will be answered in this book! One thing all those festivals have in common: People celebrate life together, colourfully, sometimes loudly and always cheerfully.
