Well, it was called the Festival of Flowers, and it was (to do) with the coming of spring, after the (dark, serious) winter months. It was a time of (everything being new again) . Its origin can (be seen) in the religious tradition of taking flowers to offer them to the gods. Spring flowers were the main (thing in) the festival, and there was always a big (group of people marching) through the streets. It was all very lively and (extremely colourful) and probably rather (noisy) , and (there was a great atmosphere) . The flowers (meant) new life, and people thought they would be guaranteed a good harvest later in the year if they were offered to the gods. Nowadays, most people (don’t have such funny beliefs about nature) , but there are still some (festivals that are all about nature’s special powers) celebrated every year.
