Hội Lim - Lim Festival (3)

The opening date of the festival is related to a legend, which says that a native woman of the eastern hamlet of Noi Due Commune, named Ba Mu, became a Buddhist monk at the Lim Pagoda and, thereafter, reached enlightenment. When a severe drought hit the village, the locals came to the pagoda and asked her for assistance. With the monk's help, the drought ended. The villagers of Lung Giang, alias Lim Village, thereafter worshipped her as their Village Spirit Protector and took the date of her enlightenment as the opening day of their festival. Folk song lovers can enjoy "Dân Ca Quan Họ" (or Quan Ho folk songs) through artists' plain tones, unaccompanied by instruments - a new feature of festival in 2006.
