Is it allowed in christianity to take part and organised this type of festival ?

Why christians engage in such festival to mark the day of Muslim arival in Spain and then started slavery of spanish christian which lasted several hundred years … during the time Muslim rulers butchered thousands of christain and kept native spanish under barbaric rule… The red color symbolize the blood of innocent spanish christians.

How can Catholic church and spanish govt allow such kind of festivity to mark a sad day in history ?

BUNOL, Spain (AFP) - Some 40,000 people crowded into the southeastern Spanish town of Bunol Wednesday to take part in its annual tomato fight.

The event, La Tomatina, drew tourists from Asia, Australia, Britain and the United States who helped themselves to ammunition from trucks parked in the main square with 130 tonnes of the ripe fruit.
Hostilities lasted an hour, leaving the streets running with juice and facades stained red before combattants headed to the river or municipal showers to clean up.
The festival, held on the last Wednesday of August, has its origins in a battle between friends in the 1940s. The area around Bunol is rich in fruit and vegetables of many kinds.

Maybe they know better that they were not actually “butchered” as you tried to mention.

(Well, muslims were definitely butchered after close to 800 years of rule ver the land. Do we see majority of muslims there now?)
