這週四（3/11）是印度第一個重要節日『濕婆節』！This coming Thursday is Maha Shivratri!

：你知道『濕婆節』是什麽嗎? Do you know about Festival Maha Shivratri?

：Hmm，不知道耶！第一次耳聞這個節日～請問『濕婆節』是一個怎麼樣的節日呢？This is the first time i have heard of it!

：Shivratri 是從梵文出來的，Shiv則是濕婆神的意思，Ratri就是夜的意思！濕婆神為了保護世界不被毀滅，喝下毒藥。此外，濕婆神要摧毀我們的壞知識，只有這樣我們才能從新得到善知識。為了紀念濕婆神的犧牲和傳留下來的精神，這一天，印度同胞們會祭拜濕婆神，供奉鮮花，水果，徹夜歡歌跳舞，並且相信神會使他們婚姻長久，多子多福哦！The festival of 'Maha Shivratri' which literally translates to 'the greatest night of Shiva' is one of the most splendidly celebrated festivals across the country. The festival celebrates the grand marriage of the lord of destruction, Shiva -- with the goddess of fertility, love, and beauty -- Parvati, who is also known as Shakti (power). Indians pray and consecrate flowers, fruits to Lord Shiv.

：嘩！原來如此～願我們一起得到祝福吧！Oh I see! May we all received blessings from Lord Shiv. Om Namah Shivaya~

我們在此預祝大家有個幸福的濕婆節！Happy Maha Shivratri!
