Renaissance Faires - Living in Medieval Times

During the Renaissance period, winters were known to be harsh, and many people failed to survive. You had to work to live in these far-off days, and those that were unable to work did not survive. What little food there was had to be hidden away before it was taken by the landowners and lords for their own winter stores. There were no shops to pop into in those days. You were left to forage for your own food, so there is no surprise in them celebrating the end of winter in this way.
