Ever heard of 3rd October (Drie oktober) ? Once you've been in Leiden on this
date, you won't forget it. The citizens then celebrate the "Leiden ontzet";
the inhabitants had a brave defence during a siege by the Spanish army (early
in the Sixteenth Century the Netherlands became part of the Spanish empire).
When all their frontal attacks failed to take the town, the Spaniards decided
to starve it into submission. The decimated citizens of Leiden, however,
refused to surrender. On the third of October 1574, after months of hunger,
illness and starvation, Leiden was finally released by the Dutch rebel army,
bringing food supplies over the flooded polders. The third of October (
Leidens Ontzet ) is still a day that is celebrated by the inhabitants of
Leiden by eating the same food that was supplied on the third of October 1574:
herring, white bread, and hutspot. Of course, there also is an enormous fair.
ESN organizes the 2nd of October a traditional hutspot dinner (carrots and
unions) at Einstein. After we had dinner and some drinks we'll go in town
where there's party on the streets. Sign up by e-mail or at our table in
Einstein, during the Wednesday night drinks!
Note: because 3rd October is on a
Sunday this year, the real celebration will be on Monday the 4th.
If you have any questions, you can visit us every Wednesday from 20.00-21.00
and every Thursday from 17.00-19.00 at the ESN office in Plexus. Or check out
our Internet address, www.esn-leiden.nl! Here you can also find a selection of
the photographs made at the Orientation Days, our Visit to Amsterdam and the
Drinks at Einstein! If you have any photos you would like us to put online, e-
mail ESN!
Best regards,
ESN Leiden
