Denn beide Feste zeigen doch recht eindeutige Parallelen auf:
Crystal Faire und Hearth's Warming Eve finden jährlich statt.
Beide dienen dazu Harmonie, Einigkeit etc. pp. zu erneuern.
Das eine schützt dabei vor den Windigos, das andere vor King Sombra - die sich auch durch eine nebelartige Erscheinung ähneln.
Ein Unterschied besteht natürlich darin, dass in Equestria das 'Herz' kein materielles Konkret hat, im Gegensatz zum fassbaren Crystal Heart, was zumindest zulässt, dass es über die Traditionen hinweg unterschiedlich ausbildete.
Aus dem Transcript zu Hearth's Warming Eve:
Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe that Princess Celestia chose us to put on the most important play of the season! Do you guys know what an honor this is? For all of us?
Rarity: Of course not. All across Equestria, ponies are preparing their own pageants for Hearth's Warming Eve, in their own towns. It's tradition.
Applejack: The Hearth's Warming Eve pageant is about harmony and friendship.
Spike: [accent] All through the night, the three ponies kept the fire of friendship alive by telling stories to one another and by singing songs, which of course became the winter carols that we all still sing today. Eventually, the warmth of the fire and singing and laughing reached the leaders, and their bodies began to thaw. And, it even began to melt their hearts.
Nicht zu vergessen Form in der sich das Fest manifestiert: (Öffnen)
Aus dem Transcripts zu Crystal Empire:
Twilight Sparkle: A 'Crystal Faire'. According to this book, it was established by their first queen, and became their most important tradition. The Faire was held every year to 'restore the spirit of love and unity in the empire so they could protect it from harm. My friends and I could put it together. Everything we need to know is in the book!
