Post 4: My Favorite Festivity

Hi classmates and miss Rosita, I will talk to you about my favourite festivity, wich is Wiñol Tripantu. 

Wiñol Tripantu is a Mapuche festivity and that celebrate the Mapuche New Year. Wiñol Tripantu or We Tripantu means "new sunrise". It's celebrates between June 21st and June 24th at the winter solstice, in the shorter day of the year.

Every year at June 21st I begin to send greetings to my family and friends wish them a good and prosperous new year. Since a few years ago I have go with my family to the Mahuidache park, wich is a ceremonial center located in a space gave for the municipality of El Bosque, for celebrate this festivity.

Actually I have another dates in the year that I like, as Worker's Day on May 1st, or the Birthday of my mom on March 21st, but I thing that we have to recover our traditions, that's why I choise the Wiñol Tripantu.
