# Scarlet Sails (tradition)

The Scarlet Sails (Russian: Алые паруса) is a celebration in St. Petersburg, Russia, the most massive and famous public event during the White Nights Festival every summer.

## Description

Crowds with about one million people are treated to a wide variety of free entertainment provided by the city of St. Petersburg. Entertainment also includes appearances by popular rock-stars, as well as the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, ballet and other classical acts, performing on several stages simultaneously during the event. The show also includes a series of large-scale events on the waters of the Neva River, such as rowing and motorboat races and a massive battle with pirates culminating in the appearance of a tall ship sporting spectacular scarlet sails.

## History

This tradition began in 1968, when several Leningrad schools united to celebrate at the end of the school year in connection with the symbolism of the popular 1923 romantic novel Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin. During the first celebration, a brigantine with scarlet sails sailed along the English Embankment and the Admiralty Embankment towards the Winter Palace. The 1961 release of the film Scarlet Sails boosted the popularity both of the book and of the tradition.

## Latest development

The show has become the main part of the White Nights celebration. More than one million people attended the Scarlet Sails show celebrating the end of the 2007 school year. In 2010, public attendance grew to 3 million, with entertainers including such stars as the Cirque du Soleil, Mariinsky Ballet and Antonio Banderas.
2020-21 saw virtual celebrations caused by COVID-19 pandemic. This celebration has returned since 2022.
# Hadid

Hadid (Hebrew: חָדִיד) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Modi'in, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 931.

## History

According to the Mishnah, the town of Hadid was encompassed by a wall before the Israelite conquest of Canaan under Joshua.
It is not mentioned in the list of the towns of Benjamin in Joshua 18:21–28 but it is named as a city of the tribe of Benjamin in the Second Temple period. In the Hellenistic era it was known as 'Adida; Simon Maccabeus was encamped there during his conflict with the Seleucid general Diodotus Tryphon.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the area belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. This area was home to thousands of inhabitants in about 20 villages, who had at their disposal tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.
Modern Hadid was founded in 1949 as a kibbutz by Yemenite Jewish immigrants, later joined by immigrants from Romania. In 1950, it was reorganized as a moshav affiliated with the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement. The site was about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the former Palestinian village site and on the land of al-Haditha and the archaeological tel of ancient Hadid (Adida).

## Archaeology

In 2008, an archaeological excavation was conducted by Hagit Torgë at Tel Hadid which yielded scant remains and a building from the Iron Age and the early Persian period.
# Beit Elazari

## History

It was founded in 1948 by Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe, on the site of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Maghar. Initially named Arugot (Hebrew: ערוגות), it was later renamed Ekron HaHadasha (Hebrew: עקרון החדשה, lit. New Ekron), and finally Beit El'azari in memory of the agronomist Yitzhak Elazari Volcani, founder of modern agriculture in Israel.

# Wattah Wattah Festival

The Wattah Wattah Festival, also known as the Basaan Festival (lit. 'dousing of water'), is the feast of John the Baptist, the patron saint of San Juan, Metro Manila, and many other communities across the Philippines. It is held every June 24.

## Customs

Filipinos commemorate the birth of John the Baptist, who cleansed and prepared the people for the coming of Jesus by baptizing them with water. Along with the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, John the Baptist's birthday is one of the few celebrated; most other saints are remembered on the day of their death or another significant date.
Matthew 3:11 quotes Saint John as saying:
   "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire."
Children and adults alike line the streets and generously douse passersby or unsuspecting commuters and visitors with water in the traditional basaan (wetting of water) or buhusan (dousing of water) – supposedly to remind them of their baptism. They enjoy engaging in water wars and other wet games using dippers, pails, hoses, and water pistols. Older people may fill their ancient coconut shells with perfumed water to sprinkle on passersby. In rural areas, people swim at the beach, in a nearby river, or at a local spring, believing that a little exposure to water today, even just a sprinkle or splash, will bring God's blessings. This popular custom is practised as they recall Saint John's life and mission.
Filipinos from different parts of the country celebrate this feast in various ways. Four of the most popular celebrations are in Balayan, Batangas; Calumpit, Bulacan; Aliaga, Nueva Ecija; Cavite City; and San Juan, Metro Manila.

## Criticism

The festival has earned the ire of several citizens living around San Juan in 2024. Reports of celebrants recklessly dousing workers, students, and even public vehicles with passengers passing through the area have been noted. One such incident involved the hurling of muriatic acid on an unsuspecting bystander; the suspect has since been apprehended by local police and faces charges of physical injury. The city government has since apologized and pledged to investigate the ensuing chaos.

# Republic Square (Samsun)

Republic Square (Turkish: Samsun Cumhuriyet Square) is a large public square located in Ilkadim district of Samsun, Turkey. It is one of the two largest and busiest public squares in the center of Samsun including Samsun Saathane Square. The square was established in 1931 and has subsequently been renovated and expanded several times. The square sits atop a large municipal parking garage.

## History

Republic Square plays an important role in the history of Samsun and Turkey as it is said to be where the first steps of the Turkish War of Independence were taken by Ataturk. The first formal iteration of the square was established in 1931 with a major renovation and the addition of a municipal parking garage. The center of Samsun fell into a state of disrepair in the 1990s with suburbanization entailing many middle class residents moving out of the city center. The square however was revitalized with the opening of the Bulvar AVM in July 2012 which took the place of the abandoned though historic Samsun Tobacco Factory.
The square was declared as an urban transformation and development area on April 21, 2021. Plans call for a large historical restoration project and the connection of Republic Square to neighboring Anit Park. As part of the restoration project, the municipal parking garage and neighboring Site Mosque will be demolished.

## Location

The square is located in one of the busiest parts of the Ilkadim district, which is considered to be the center of Samsun. The Samsun Metropolitan Municipality Council, office buildings, a banks and the Bulvar AVM are located around it. The square is served by the Cumhuriyet Square stop of the Samsun Tram. The Samsun Gazi Museum is also located on the southern edge of the square.
Among many other daily activities, Blood donation can be done on the Kızılay bus, which is located permanently in the square. As a result of its central location, the square hosts events held on national and religious holidays.
