Rick Steves' European Festivals | Full Special 

🎉🎉😅😊

Chill out

@@drezdin4557 Chill out for pointing out the obvious and exposing Mr. Steves's lack of respect for Spanish culture and traditions. This is about respect, and he showed none when he made that nasty comment.

@@loumcast Calm down, Karen.

Perhaps you do not understand the incredibly intellectual use of the precise English language. This was not an insult but rather clearly saying how unique each fashion choice is in and of itself. That word "clownish" was complimentary usage in the context of his words. He is a sophisticated thinker who understands the often many meanings in the American English language. He is rather poetic in his narration which is likely why you took offense, not understanding his semantics.

@@quietreader4190 just ignore the Karen.

Wouldn't be secular without religious. They all originate from religious traditions. Don't be afraid to join the fun.

It’s the culture, get a clue.

This is the life of these cultural celebrations. Do not go and expect festivals that have no religious sources. That is how it is in Europe. The churches in particular are the early and lasting communities culturally. Produce your own festival documentary. It is nearly impossible to ignor the roots of celebrations including early pagan then church roots. Church history is European history for the last 2,000 years. Secular is a modern idea. Seriously. Go for it. Ain't happening in Europe or anywhere I can think of on the Mediterranean. Asia as well. Religiosity may be suppressed in China and North Korea only in the 20th century.
