Artist's Comments

All the young men and women of the village were taking part at the "Klidonas" celebrations.

Young unmarried women drink the "silent water" and are not allowed to talk until they jump over a fire (which burns flower garlands) three times. The young men try to make them speak by scaring them, annoying them and distracting them. While the girls are silent they learn who they are about to marry, as long as they remain silent. Or something like that.

Wow. When you said that about jumping over fire in the first shot, I thought you meant the little torches the boys were carrying. This is a whole lot different.

And this was just a small fire, since there were a lot of kids... some of the people there were saying that when they were young they were jumping over "real fire"!
