Part 2 Tyhe Wreath of Chives

and a wreath made of dried chives
                                 and green olive leaves.
                            During the time of Early spring
                                  during the rainy season
                                 Contestants would pray for
                                         the warmest days
                                   at the Celebration of chives.
                                   Bouts were done upon the 
                             mounts of clay with a burlap canvas
                                        pinned to the edges.
                                               the winner
                                   were gifted a Cup full of coins
                 and a trophy with a wreath of chives and olive leave
                                                  on them.
                              During the warmest days of the fall
                                             the year prior
                     they would meet to pray for the warmest do dasys
