Abstract

The cycle of festivities in celebration of spring covers the celebration of return of the sun and a strong desire for the renewal of Earth's reproductive and fertilization function and. These practices express themselves in manifestations which transgress the established order, and in acts of purification and fertilization which take place in a cheerful and licentious environment.
