3.2 Religiöse Feste und Prozessionen

Religious festivals and processions were a very important part of an ancient city’s life. People came together to show their allegiance to a god, to drink wine, eat meat, to sing and watch sports, and to pray. This video will take you to the Panathenaic festival in Athens taking place every four years in the month of July.
