Back to the medieval times of "Noble Knights and Lovely Ladies!"

Back to the medieval times of
"Noble Knights and Lovely Ladies!

Knoble Knights and Lovely Ladies!

"Knights!"What comes into your mind when you hear this word? Especially, as this question would be perfect for the fairer sex, and most probably the answer would be "A polished warrior who is ready to do everything for the lady of his heart". It is not a problem for him to kill a dragon, bring all the riches of the world to her feet, and love her till the end of time. It sounds so romantic, and reminds us all of a beautiful fairy-tail,

Who hasn't dreamt to possibly return back to the medieval times, and be able to see with at least one eye covered these noble knights, and brave warriors fight tournaments with each other in honor of their lovely ladies or for the fulfillment of some other noble vows? Then what better place could you visit then this small country in the middle of Europe called Belarus, where you would get a chance to explore such duals once again!

Belarusian lands lie on the crossroads of Europe due to which they always attracted conquerors from different countries. This further led to the need of courageous strong soldiers to protect them, who were known as noble knights. In medieval times, in the 13th century, Belarusian lands were first part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and later part of Rzecz Pospolita. In those old times, on Belarusian lands various subunits of knights were formed and various wooden fortresses were erected on borders for the defense of principalities against conquerors, for example, such as crusaders. The knight was a warrior with a keen sense of self-worth. In any battle he was dependant only on himself, and could become famous, by showing his bravery, the strength of his armor and the speed of his horse. In a battle knights were always very fair towards their enemies showing their grace and mercy all the time. As those times, the victory meant to drive the enemy out of the saddle and take him prisoner. Unfortunately, with the emergence of firearms, the armor stopped to be a strong protection, and knights lost their specific position in the society.

However, in Belarus, at the end of 20th century knights started to come back, as knights clubs, and later knights tournaments and festivals were created. The main medieval festivals and knights tournaments in Belarus are held in Novogrudok, Zaslavl, Nesvizh and Mir. There you can meet young men and girls in medieval hand-made costumes and to watch knights' tournaments which have already become a tradition in Belarus. You will have the possibility to take some amazing pictures and make memories you will want to relive. A Belarusian knights festivals is a must see!

Knights tournaments in Mir Castle!
A must see when you visit Belarus.

In summer, you can find yourself in medieval times visiting one of the most beautiful castles in Belarus - 'Mir Castle', that is located 90 km from Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Usually in June and July, knights tournaments take place here, and they are very much similar to Western European jousts of the 14th- 16th centuries.

Also every year they organize the international knight tournament here that is called "The Heritage of Centuries", in which about 800 participants from different countries take part. Costumes, armor, arms, mode of life match fully the era in which the warriors lived, and fought. In order to take part in such medieval tournaments, a knight-participant has to own a whole set of arming. But you can't buy ready armor, as they are always made with hands and very unique. Each piece of the metal harness matches its historical analog. All modern armor of knights is about 30 kilos, however in medieval times they were much heavier, and warriors could run, lie down on their stomachs, and get up without help.

Knights tournaments usually begin with a solemn presentation of all knights-participants. Every knight shows his symbol - the emblem, and also presents his slogan. Heraldic symbols are very important, as they can tell a lot about the personality of knights. The sword of knights is the most important symbol of medieval times. The knight used to have it with him all the time, even not wearing all his armor, otherwise he used to be considered naked in front of all people. The dedication into a knight was made also with the help of the sword and its handle was like a cross.

During such medieval festivals, all participants try to follow the mode of life of those ancient times, not only while taking part in battles, but also while having a rest: they usually live in tents, chop wood, prepare food on fire. Girls cook dishes that are typical of medieval times. One of the favorite and popular recipes of the festival is the "Lombard Cheese Soup, the main ingredients of which are celery, a hard kind of cheese, parsley, dill, leek and salt.

History about Knights and Tournaments!
In The Medieval Times.

The Knight tournament is a military competition of knights in medieval Western Europe. They were created in the 11th century, and the country of origin was France. Geoffrey de Preili was called the father of the knights tournament, as this Frenchman created the rules for the 1st tournaments. The most interesting fact is that he was killed during one of such knights tournaments, for which he had created the rules himself. The main purpose of the 1st knights tournaments in France for warriors was to show their physical strength, stamina and courage. Such medieval festivals were mainly organized in honor of solemn events such as marriage ceremonies of kings or the birth of heirs.

Only a well-trained man could become a knight. In medieval times, feudal who fought for their king or representatives of the upper class could become knights. There were also 7 virtues, which the knight had to possess or know how to do: riding, fencing, the art of using the spear, swimming, hunting, playing chess, composing and singing verses in honor of the lady of his heart.

History of Ginger!
Ginger or Zingiber Officinale

Ginger or Zingiber Officinale (Scientific name) reaches back 5000 years when the Indian and ancient Chinese used the root as a medicine to cure all types of ailments. Ginger was cultivated not only in India and China but in many other countries. In the earlier days, huge exports from India to Rome were made as the Romans used it quite extensively in their meals but after the collapse of the Roman Empire, the Arabs followed and took over the spice trade. Ginger then was quite an expensive commodity, and was used to make sweets.

Ginger comes from the same family as cardamom and turmeric. They all have a heating effect and are used very much in Asian Cuisines. It is used in raw or in a paste format to bring about flavor and enhance the taste of the dish.

I am sure you all must have heard of the famous 'Ginger Man!' who was invented by Queen Elizabeth I of England which became a very popular Christmas Treat. Now Ginger is easily available at different grocery stores for a few Dollars but long ago it would cost a fortune as it wasn't used so much until as late as the 11th Century in the western countries where it was used to enhance the taste of buttermilk drinks.

The Making of Ginger!
Its enhancing properties.

Ginger is a root plant that has both medicinal and taste enhancing properties. It is used very extensively now a days in culinary dishes due to its warming effect. The plant originates from Southeast Asia with India being the largest producer of the spice due to its sub-tropical climate. The ginger plant & its roots grow to a height of up-to 4 feet and have a bunch of flowers in the colors of pink & white which is actually very beautiful. Many people in India grow Ginger in their pots at home and it really looks beautiful but Ginger is also commercially produced on a large scale as well with India having more then hundreds of cultivators growing the Ginger Plant for its essential oils.

Dry Ginger has more essential oils in it so its use is also determined when its been harvested. In this case then if it is to be used as fresh or for preservation then it is harvested when it is about 5 months old as the mass of roots are still soft and tender and not quite poignant. Then dried Ginger has a stronger aromatic essence and flavor which is why it is harvested at 8 or 9 months, at times possibly even more.

The use of machine diggers is now available to harvest Ginger but to preserve traditions then the plant is harvested majorly by hand, after which they are either sold fresh, dried or their oils extracted. In the case of dried Ginger powder then the mass of roots are boiled or scraped and then dried after which they are grounded to make the Ginger powder we now get in the stores or have in our kitchens.

It is one of the most favorite plants among amateurs of aquariums.
