This is the Shan celebration of Poy Sang Long, recorded in the town of Fang (Northern Thailand). The video recording was not done by me, but by a good Shan friend. The main reason for posting it here is ethnographic interest. Obviously, we folks in "Christendom" have nothing at all like this.

The children who are all dressed up fancy are boys getting ready to be ordained as Buddhist novices. They are dressed like the princes of ancient Shan history. The Poy Sang Long festival declares that, for three days, the feet of these "Crystal Princes" shall not touch the earth.
