Description
The "Lelo" is a mysterious practice which is played in Georgia. A kind of cousin of the soule that perfectly sticks to the soul of the Georgian people, rude, generous and spiritual. Two villages in the southwest of the country meet once a year on Easter Sunday. No time limits, no rules, as many players as there are.

The goal of the game for each team is to bring the ball to the creek of his village. The winner will be able to deposit the ball as an offering on the grave of someone who has recently disappeared. No one knows exactly the origins of this tradition.

The balloon is made the same day with a leather envelope filled with sand, water and wine. It weighs sixteen kilos... The privilege of elaborating it belongs to the shoemaker's family.

Edition of 3 (+2 AP).
This one is no 1/3.
