Ride of the Kings
The Ride of the Kings is a festival that is celebrated in Spring, at the Pentecost, in Moravia, the south-east of the Czech Republic. In 2011, it was added to the UNESCO Representative List of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.〔(Ride of the Kings in the south-east of the Czech Republic ) @ the UNESCO website〕
The festival takes place in the region historically known as Moravian Slovakia. It is celebrated annually in the village of Vlčnov (pop.3,000), every three years in Hluk (pop.4,400), every two years in Kunovice (pop.5,500), and occasionally in Skoronice (pop.550) as part of another festival called the "Slovácký rok" (Slovakian Year).〔(Dossier de candidature pour l'inscription sur a liste représentative du patrimoine culturel de l’humanité en 2011 )〕
== Description ==
Until World War II, the Ride was an integral part of the Feast of Pentecost, but has since become largely a social event.〔 The ceremony begins with a religious service and the approval of the Mayor, followed by the preparation of the costumes and decorations for the horses and riders. These are made by the women of the villages, according to traditional colors and designs unique to each place.〔
The Ride itself is performed by young men who number between 15 and 25.〔 They are preceded and followed by singers and an honor guard wearing unsheathed swords to protect the "King"; a young boy of 10 to 15 years old, whose face is partially covered, holding a rose in his mouth.〔 The King and his groomsmen are dressed in feminine costumes, while all the other riders wear masculine clothing.〔 After riding through the village for a few hours, sometimes exchanging witticisms with the crowd, the participants return home then, later in the evening, meet at the "King's House" for music and dancing.〔
