The Festival concludes with a feast where chicken is the main course. I don't think anyone told him that!

Mikelis Diena
In Latvia almost everyone has a Name's Day, which in many cases is considered bigger than your birthday. Today was Mikelis Diena, the final day of a three day festival concluding the harvest season. The last day of the celebration is the market day when all the craftsmen and farmers bring their goods to town to sell in a huge market. It was also the day that men were supposed to propose in Latvia but I didn't see any of that. Here are some pictures from the celebration!
