Anastenaria

Located in Mavrolefki
In Mavrolefki, on the occasion of the feast of Saints Constantine and Helen (21st of May), the famous "Anastenaria" event takes place. It is a ritual that falls (albeit atypically) into Christian faith. The event consists of a series of individual rituals such as gathering in a special room (konaki), reading special wishes, performing blessings, icons’ procession, etc. The peak of the event is the walk of the faithful “anastenarides” on lit charcoals.
