● TRADITION CARDS
Jarping at Easter Time
Jarping is a game where you try crack someone else’s boiled egg without cracking your own.
This is very popular in North-East England and there’s even a World Jarping Championships
in Peterlee, Durham, each Easter.
They release the lanterns because the act of releasing the lantern and Krathong symbolizes
letting go of all ills and misfortunes in the previous year, and Buddhists also believe that if
you make a wish when you set off the lantern, it will come true.
In parts of India, there is a wedding tradition called "Joota Chupai" or "hiding the
shoes." While walking to the altar, the groom is required to take off his shoes. Once they are
off, everyone from the groom's side of the family is expected to protect the shoe as the bride's
family tries to steal and hide them. The tradition is said to be a playful bonding experience
between the families.
