Mundusradio - PodcastsMunduslingua - Culture: Kataklysmos FestivalThe history of humankind is shaped by hundreds of cataclysmic events that we still remember and commemorate today. One of these great events in history is that of the Great Flood, the famous story in the Bible where God, due to humanity's misdeeds, reveals his wrath against men and a great flood befalls on Earth. Nowadays, Cyprus, an island nation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, remembers this biblical event and merges it with more recent Christian Orthodox and pagan traditions in a festival known as Kataklysmos or Festival of the Flood.2015-06-2400 minMundusradio - PodcastsMunduslingua - Language: Spanish Lesson 3Learn in this new series of Spanish Lessons how to ask someone out to dinner in a Spanish-speaking country.2014-03-1000 minMundusradio - PodcastsMunduslingua - Culture: Patras Carnival in GreeceThe Patras Carnival or Patrino karnavali in Greece is unquestionably one of the world's greatest carnivals.
