The Sun Festival - Solfestuka

At 8th of March the sun is shining on the steps of the old hospital. That hospital is gone for long time ago and even the steps are just a copy but we're anyhow celebrating the return of the sun on that day.

People are gathering around they place were the hospital was in old days. Everybody is waiting excatingly: Will we see the sun this year or is it hiding behind the clouds?

It was -26 degrees Celcius and weather was brilliand. But organizers of the celebration had got the wrong time when the sun is getting over the mountains and so the most of the people got home before the sun came up.

Even thoug there didn't came any big celebration in that cold weather it was fantastic to get the sun back on our town. I think there is a reason to celebrate that a complete week.
