I also want to know about the thrilling Spanish Bull Run Festival.
Belgian Dragon Slaughter Festival On June 3, 2007, tens of thousands of tourists watched the Saint George Dragon Slaughter Festival in the central square of Mons, a small town in southern Belgium. In 2005, this traditional festival was listed as "representative work of oral and intangible cultural heritage of mankind" by UNESCO.
St George's Dragon Slayer Festival in Mons, a small town in southern Belgium, originated from religious legends. It is said that in the 4th century A.D., a dragon threatened the Mediterranean countries and demanded that the living be sacrificed every day. One day, it was the king's daughter's turn. At the critical moment, the Christian knight St. George descended from the sky and conquered the dragon. Since then, the royal family and its subjects have to "slaughter" the dragon model every year to pray for peace and commemorate St. George. In A.D. 1380, Mons began to hold "Dragon Slaughter" activities. In 2005, the traditional festival Mons was listed by UNESCO as "representative of oral and intangible cultural heritage of mankind".
Legend has it that St. George slew a dragon to save the princess. Montblanc is threatened by dragons. The beast made its home on the outskirts of the village. Odor pollutes air and water and hurts livestock. Every time it eats, it gets closer to the wall, so people near the wall should try to isolate it. They started feeding it lambs, then cows, then horses.
In the end, there is no other way but to feed people. Put people's names into a pot, including the king and his daughter, and draw lots every day to decide who will feed the dragon the next day. One night, the princess was unfortunately drawn. It is said that the king cried and begged his subjects to save his daughter's life, but it was useless. This is not the only sad father. It is also said that the king bravely gave up his daughter. In any case, the girl went out of the city wall and went to her miserable fate.
When the terrible dragon crawled towards her, a handsome knight appeared in the fog, wearing a white dress and riding a white horse, fighting with the wild animals.
The dragon was wounded and surrendered like a knight. The knight tied the dragon's neck with a princess's belt. In the consternation of the residents, he dragged the dragon to the city gate, just like dragging a puppy. There, in full view, it actually gave the dragon a fatal blow. Legend has it that the dragon died and was absorbed by the soil. Some people say that the blood has not passed the knight's feet. Anyway, at that moment, a rose grew and a red rose bloomed. George, this knight presented the rose to the princess.
This made knights famous in the Middle Ages and was called a model among knights and nobles.
