4 7 Festival It happened that way at the start of every March, without any kind o f visible cause. We’re nervous, as if at the starting line, having anxiously climbed onto the trampoline.

What is it that’s going on with us, God willing, it’s not our choice. Every March there’s a true test for men at the peak of their senses and abilities!
