Northern Ireland is made of tradition. Here are fresh legends about the ancient Celts who came here in time immemorial. Northern Irish people to this day do not forget about traditional clothes, songs, dances and customs to celebrate modern and ancient holidays. For example, on New Year's Eve, the people of the "Emerald Isle" necessarily open the doors in their homes so that the troubles and misfortunes of the previous year leave the house, and instead of them come happiness, wealth and love along with the coming year. Cuisine of Northern Ireland contains dishes traditional for the region - cumin muffins, puddings and meat baked according to the original recipe.
The most clear mass manifestation of traditions is expressed in the "marching season", the time of which begins at Easter and lasts until mid-autumn. The rite is strictly observed in religious communities professing Protestantism. The largest parades are held in the middle of summer.The event is timed to coincide with the victory of the British Protestant king William III of Orange over the Catholic monarch James II and his army. The event took place on July 11, 1690, the battle of the Boyne became decisive. Since then, true Irish patriots have been celebrating this day with a cheerful and numerous exit to the streets of the city.
