European Youth Meeting of Taizé in Zagreb, 27.12.06 - 01.01.07
31.12.06 - Feast of Nations
Taizé guests and hosts from Dugo Selo spent the last hours of 2006 and the first hours of 2007 in a gym that was
decorated for a big party - and in fact that is what took place. We went into the new year in the most beautiful way:
With a Taizé prayer and singing wonderful songs until midnight. People in town started their big fireworks 10 min
before twelve so we did not see too much of it when we left the hall shortly after twelve but it was very nice nevertheless.
Then the Feast of Nations took place where all participants presented songs, dances or games from their home countries
and afterwards there was real live music. Zakon Neba, a Dugo Selo band, performed their fantastic songs: nice lyrics and
great rock music. Everybody was having a great party and the boys were not allowed to leave the stage before playing more
and more aditional songs. Just out of consideration for our host families we left the party around 4 o'clock. It was the
most fantastic Feast of Nations I ever experienced.
