Events
On New Years Day early in the morning, people of all ages, the bravest of whom had been celebrating the night before, pour into Adarra to see the sunrise or just to have a good starting year. Some people may carry music instruments (trikitixa, tabor and pipe, etc.) that enliven the atmosphere.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
