in Ladies of Hive3 years ago (edited)

Hello Lovely Ladies On Hive This Is My First Time Participating In This Community And I Am Glad To Be In The Midst of Wonderful Women.
I Am Okpe Rosemary Ifeoma From Enugu State Isi-uzo local government area in Nigeria.
And I will be making my post based on the question asked 👇👇

Have you been fortunate to experience a holiday from a religion or culture different than your own?

Yes I have, it was the new yam festival and my first time experiencing such this was my experience.

It was my first time travelling to the village my parents and I lived in the northern part of Nigeria for a while now and you barely go home even on vacations. this holiday they decided to take my siblings and I to our hometown which is enugu state for the new yam festival. It was a 12 hours journey soon we got to our home town.

Those are some of the largest yams I have ever seen! 😮 Thank you for sharing your experience!

Thanks for reading

The yams you have make the yams I see at our markets seem so tiny in comparison! I would think one of those yams would last several meals here! Thanks for sharing your festival!

What's the Story about The Masquerade?
Is it a Protector or Hero?
A spirit creature of good will?

Thank you for sharing @rose-o

The masquerade is a Spirit of goodwill as it is said to be the reason behind the large yams
