What are the Traditions and Customs of Colombia? |
What are the Traditions and Customs of Colombia? Cocaine . . . cocaine . . . and . . . yahoo . . . more cocaine! There are so many customs that I don't even know where to start. My parents are from Colombia and BTW, cocaine isn't a custom...... Anyway, for example for Christmas, they have the novena, which starts December 16th and ends on Christmas Eve. During this time, they sing and read and pray. On Christmas Eve, they open presents instead of on Christmas Day. Their independence day is on July 20 and nobody has to work that day. On New Year, a lot of people gather up all their jewelery, wear it and get a suitcase to run around the block. This signals that they will have prosperity in riches and in travel. There are many fairs in Colombia. Actually, they have one for most days of the year even if they don't celebrate them. These are only some of the customs of Colombia. It's a great country, not just a drug-filled country where everyone is bad. It's beautiful!!!! Drugs are not the only thing in Colombia. It is a very beautiful country with lots of resources. Unfortunately, the guerillas have given it a bad name. I live in Bogota and it is as safe as any other large city (8-9,000,000 people) in the world. During December the city pays to decorate all the parks with lights and other decorations. The people are very friendly. Check out the video link below! |
