Ducasse de Mons Festival Celebrated in South Belgium
The Ducasse de Mons, or Doudou festival, was celebrated in southern Belgian city of Mons on Sunday.
The celebration started at 10:00 when people in mediaeval style dresses participated in a parade. The peak came at noon when tens of thousands of people gathered at the square in front of the city hall to watch performances.
Saint George in golden clothes of knight launched a series of attacks against the green dragon and finally defeated the dragon with the help of dog riders.
The participants struggled to catch the tail of the dragon, which is said to be able to bring fortune throughout the year.
I like this festival. It's fantastic, said a little girl.
Every year we gather here to celebrate the Doudou festival and stage grand performance. Every participant and every volunteer performs happily. Local Mons residents are also very excited at this unique moment, said a local resident.
This word, the Ducasse, comes from the French. The Ducasse means something like tribute. It's a tribute to a church. So there are many people in this procession, 1,700 people. Among these people, there are for example real priests in the church of the region, but there are also not really actors but volunteers, said Isabelle Palmitessa, an information officer of the Mons Tourism Office, adding that volunteers accounted for around 90 percent of the participants.
The popular festival, originating in the Middle Ages and depicting the combat between Saint George and a dragon, is celebrated every year on the Trinity Sunday (57 days after Easter) in the city. It is recognized by UNESCO as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
