Christmas at the Village
A celebratory episode in Tetralofo, Kozani, within the courtyard of Panagia of Vlahernon. The festivity commences with traditional Pontian carols, given that nearly everyone here hails from the legendary Livira of Pontus.
Kostis delves into their Christmas traditions.
The predominant custom is that of the 'Momogeroi,' a tradition acknowledged in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage. Why are they referred to as 'Kotsamania' here? Who inspired them, and what does their ceremonial practice symbolize?
In dialogue with the inhabitants, we uncover facets of their daily lives, the involvement of the Public Power Corporation (DEI) in the region, their villages, and all their customs.
The expansive Christmas banquet includes Pontian and a selection of Thracean recipes. We learn the art of creating the exquisite 'rizopita'.
And through their dances and songs, we're all stirred by their enduring memories.
