Holidays in Tolkien's Works - Building a World

The holidays, feasts and festivals in Middle-earth have internal meaning in Tolkien’s Middle-earth, while also mirroring some of our own world’s culture as well. This video explores the holidays Tolkien put in his works, depicting how he used even these elements to further craft his world. Thank you so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about the holidays of Middle-earth and Arda in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
