This celebration is accompanied by ritual dances and music.

Priests and priestesses claim the role of the earth as a provider not only of food for the body, but also as sustenance for the soul and spirit. This ceremony is a sign of gratitude and prayer for the harmonious coexistence of the people of the world, as well as of human beings with nature.
