Words sound for marching

At Pentecost, when the border picks up its green dress decorated with tiny flowers, the streets of Siklód dress up for celebration as well. The coming of the Holy Spirit in the village is a celebration of the children, so they do not have to go to church. According to tradition, on the holiday Saturday, the children clean and decorate the pre-ordered barn.
