Made By: Sam Han Vivian-Farsang is like Halloween except you don't go trick-or-treating. Hungarians celebrate this tradition by dressing up in furry costumes and devil-looking mask. The purpose of this dates back in the 17th century when villagers dressed up in devil costumes to scare away the Turkish forces. While this story of the villagers scaring away the Turks is a popular one, the festival probably has a older story, associating with the coming of spring and scaring away the winter. When I was in my school, we celebrated this festival by dressing up in animal costumes like bears, wolfs, and cats. Our parents and grandparents also came, bringing pork, sausages, goulash and many sweets like farsangi fank.. After the fun and joy of eating, dancing, and talking with our friends, we light candles and went for a long walk around the school.
