The Orange Battle in Hebrew gathered 30 thousand participants

While the historical battle of oranges remains super-popular with spectators and participants, the organizers of the Carnival 2014 in Hebrew count not only income, but also the number of victims. This year there are only 140 such people, compared to 213 in the last 2013.

Historic Carnival in Hebrew - This is a unique event that annually captures the streets and squares of the city with the atmosphere of a medieval holiday, ancient traditions, spectacular theatrical performances, vivid emotions and high ideals. The spirit of carnival dates back to the Middle Ages, when the baron who then owned the town was expelled. At that time, the miller's daughter raised a general rebellion, who refused to obey the law of the first night. Six thousand foot shooters snatched victory from the baronial battalion of 48 wagons.

Since then, the main heroine of the carnival theatrical performance in Hebrew has been Melnichikha, and next to her is the General, whose task since the 19th century has been to ensure accurate observance of festivities.

Spectacular Orange Battle fills with bright colors and aromas the reconstruction of a popular rebellion from tyranny. During the battle, the “people”, represented by foot soldiers, use oranges to fight the “feudal army” with arrows riding on horse-drawn carts and dressed in armor reminiscent of medieval armor.

Ordinary townspeople and visitors from Thursday are wearing Phrygian berets, a traditional red headdress in the form of a stocking, symbolizing full agreement with the rebellion.

This year the carnival in Hebrew is held with February 25 to March 5and the Orange Battle took place on Sunday, March 2. Streets and squares of the city were flooded more than 30 thousand people. A huge number of tourists arrived from different parts of the Earth to watch the unusual and exciting spectacle. This has not happened for many years. And of course, the vast majority of guests sought to visit the Orange Battle:

"On March 21 in Japan on national television we will show a 70-minute documentary about the Hebrew carnival," one tourist shared.

After the battle, there were 140 people wounded in battle in the prudently set up tents of the Red Cross. This is a good result, given that last year there were 213 such unlucky people. In general, thanks to the bright spring sun, Ivrea again turned into bright orange colors, stunning and captivating more than 30 thousand spectators, who enthusiastically watched the reckless Orange battle.
