In February,I went to York in the UK. Or as the Vikings called it,Jorvik. I was in for a surprise,not knowing that the Jorvik Viking Festival (约克维京海盗节),Europe's largest Viking festival,was on. It is held yearly in February.
In the city centre were people with swords,axes and helmets,dressed as Vikings. Some played old instruments and hundreds walked through the city. You could buy Viking tools and taste Meade,an old Viking drink made from honey,during the festival.
The Jorvik festival is a celebration of the UK's cultural heritage. The Vikings took over York in the late 800s and ruled it for almost a century. This was in the Viking Age,from 800 to 1150. About 200,000 Vikings from Norway,Sweden and Denmark went in boats to live in different parts of the world,including England. This wasn't peaceful. The Vikings were warriors (战士). They believed death in fighting would be a glory.
Today,there is a great interest in the UK with Viking history. As well as the Jorvik festival,people do Viking weddings (婚礼). The couple may bind (捆绑) their hands together,drink from animal horns (角制品) and even jump over a sword and get blessings from people,with guests encouraged to dress as Vikings. Some people name their children after Viking legends. My nephew is named Heimdall,after the watchman in Norse mythology. The Viking legacy continues to interest people all over the country.
