Why do we fly kites on Clean Monday?

Initially, kite flying is a very nice and fun custom, but let's find out the reasons why kite flying has been established all these years.

Below we will see the main reasons...

The symbolism of cleansing: Flying a kite can be symbolically interpreted as a release from old sins and bad habits.
Seeking freedom and happiness: Flying a kite is an activity often associated with childhood and joy. Children and adults flew kites as a sign of freedom and happiness, expressing the joy of the upcoming spring and the impending rebirth, due to the Resurrection.
Fun and teamwork: Flying a kite is an activity that usually takes place in groups or families, offering an opportunity for fun. It is a tradition that brings people together and creates a sense of solidarity and cooperation, so they can manage to fly the kite high.

Some options...

There are many kinds of kites you can choose from, beyond the classic hexagonal ones.

Nowadays there are many designs, sizes, and themes, such as falcon, Spiderman, princesses, airplanes, etc, and even accessories like the string or, if you want, a tail.

Finally, a major trend is the stunt kites, which allow better control of the kite.
