【欧洲·葡萄牙】坎普马约尔社区节庆 Community festivities in Campo Maior（2021年）

坎普马约尔社区庆祝活动是一项受欢迎的活动，在此期间，葡萄牙坎普马约尔的街道上装饰着数以百万计的各种形状、颜色和图案的纸花。社区由街道委员会组织，决定日期，发展装饰元素和颜色主题的概念。然后，成员们在九个月的时间内完成装饰工作。准备工作通常在夜间进行，在家中或储存区进行。这种做法增强了创造力和社区归属感，街道委员会之间有一种友好竞争的感觉，以确定哪条街道的设计最具创意和色彩。因此，这些装饰一直保密，直到庆祝活动前夕，整座城市一夜之间彻底改变。其结果是创造了一个五彩缤纷、喜庆的城镇，敞开大门，没有社会差别。节日那天，社区里挤满了街道。社区庆祝活动始于一个名为“圣约翰浸信会纪念活动”的宗教庆典。尽管他们从1921年起就没有这样的头衔，但圣人的存在仍然历久弥新，圣人的形象在街道上以一个小游行队伍的形式出现。这种做法在家庭和学校中传播。

The Community Festivities of Campo Maior is a popular event during which the streets of Campo Maior in Portugal are decorated with millions of paper flowers in various shapes, colours and patterns. The community, which is organized in street commissions, decides the date and develops the concept of the decorative elements and the colour theme. Members then work on the decorations over a period of nine months. Preparations typically take place at night, in homes or in storage areas. The practice strengthens creativity and community belonging, and there is a sense of a friendly competition between street commissions to see which street will have the most original and colourful design. The decorations are thus kept secret until the eve of the festivities, when the town is completely transformed overnight. The result is the creation of a colourful, festive town, with open doors and no social distinctions. On the day of the festival, the community fills the streets. The Community Festivities started as a religious celebration called ‘Festivities in Honour of St. John the Baptist’. Although they haven’t had that title since 1921, the saint’s presence still endures, with his image carried through the streets in a small procession. The practice is transmitted within families and in schools.
