		<description><![CDATA[While the rest of the world feasts, Sardinians actually fast as Christmas draws near. They deprive themselves of food from the sunset of the 23rd of December until the sunset of the 2th. The feast only begins afterwards, as the great Yule Log is kindled and all the songs and prayers are done. This sacred ritual is performed around the Presepio, the crib where the feast begins.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sardinia is predominantly Roman Catholic, much like the rest of Italy. However, many of their traditions, rituals and festivals can be traced back to an older, pagan past. Most Sardinians still remember those days when fear of retribution (whether human or divine) was a constant element especially for those who live in rural villages where a family’s honor demanded that wrongs be avenged through vendetta.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem at first like child’s play, or maybe just a spirited taunting between a few men. But make no mistake about it: the Jocu de sa Murra is a game taken so seriously by the men in Sardinia than at some point, it was banned because of the violent outcomes that often resulted from the matches.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traditional costumes are at the heart of the culture of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. Although it is unrealistic to think that locals still go around in costume, it would be accurate to say that they find it easy to look for excuses to go and put them on during special days. These days would include dances and musical events, and at processions celebrating feast days. These festivals are mostly held in the summer, most of them inevitably linked to agricultural beliefs. The most important of the festivals is said to be the Sagra di Sant’Efisio, in honor of Saint Efisio, the patron saint of Sardinia.]]></description>
