| Description: | THE FEAST OF THE FLOWERS Zederhaus near Salzburg, Austria. Various shots of children picking flowers on a mountainside, chasing each other and rolling down the hill. Back in the village, adults weave the flowers into garlands of flowers that are wound round 18 foot long poles and carried in a procession through the town to the church, to receive a blessing and the assurance of a prosperous harvest. | |
