There are hundreds/THOUSANDS of participants armed with broadswords and carrying huge torches, yet no one gets hurt and it’s a fun event.

I wonder how long it takes to build the ship every year.
It’s so pretty, almost sad to see it burned ;-(

IIRC they start in May. There are a few videos of the building online.
Mostly done by hand. It IS sad to see it burn, then again what a sight!

Did you hear the remark about the new galley being planned now and taking a year to build? Regeneration. The sun is back. The Good of the Year is in sight.
A touchstone to me ancestors.
