Holiday in the memory of dead

Anna's assign

In my country we do not have a holyday around this time. We have a holyday quite similar to Halloween and we celebrate in February third. The holyday is celebrated in the memory of the warriors who fought for the liberation of the country against colonialists and in the memory of the first president who was killed by a bomb which was in an envelope. The holyday is celebrated on the third of February. The day before it people from throughout the country gather in the capital city of the country in a place called marraquene. People celebrate in that place because they believe that the first warrior who was also a king was buried near a river close to marraquene. Most of people who go there carry food and traditional bear made of a fermentation of small edible nut called cashew. All the regulos which are very old from the time of colonialist who used to work to the colonialists by controlling the population from not revolting against the colonialist must be present to invoke the dead’s spirits. These people called regulos are given the traditional bear to pour on the ground while they are invoking the dead’s spirits. Then, after they finished invoking usually a hippopotamus comes out from the river in sign that the dead had accepted the offering which is the traditional bear. After the hippopotamus comes out some people capture it and kill it, some of its meet is cooked and the other is grilled; thus, they spend the all night dancing, playing in the river and eating the hippopotamus meet till the next day which is February third.
