Can a village come alive?
The folowing text shall express that the villages are lively during the ceremony. Can I write it like this?

Looking like (lighting up like) colourful dots on the map of South-Eastern Moravia, every year several villages come alive with an archaic ritual of royal horseback processions whose origin is unclear. Yet the National Institute of Folk Culture has set itself an immodest target to explain you its nature, history, and especially current form at least partially.

Thank you very much

Answer

Yes, "come alive" is perfectly correct, but we never say "explain you (something)". In English, the next word that follows "explain" is always akuzativ. ;)

Answer

Yes, it means the village is busy and full of energy and life becaus dog what the people are doing.

Answer

Yes, you can definitely use "come alive" in this way!
