Amb la Patum al cor - a photo on Flickriver

La canalla ja fa de maces des de petits, i com podeu veure, amb molta afició i devoció.

La Patum és la celebració més intensa i especial de Catalunya. Em falten paraules per poder-la descriure.

Per Corpus, el divendres toca Patum Infantil, veritable escola de patumaires, els quals porten la afició pintada a la cara i la passió per Patum a les venes!

================================================

This dance, called "salt de les maces" (dance of the maces), is part of the Patum de Berga. I took this picture of the children's Patum, and you could see how they took their job seriously!

You could see a video of the same event in 2010:

The Patum is a festival held in the Catalan town of Berga each year in Corpus Christi. It's a unique event in all over the World. It's so speciall that it's part of UNESCO World Heritage. It's origins are in the middle ages, although in its current form it dates from the last decades of the XIX Century. It beggins in wednesday of Corpus till sunday of Corpus.

Each year, there's also the Children's Patum, and they conduct most of the parts of the Patum with small versions of the adults figures, like the Àliga (Eagle), gegants (Giants), etc.

As you could see, all the celebrations in the Patum are fully crowded. Here's a picture of the same place empty of people, on a normal day:
