Carnivals
- Name:
Serres's Carnival
- Location:
Seres
- Description:
Kalogeros (The Monk) is another Thracian custom which
takes place in the village of St Eleni. This festivity
is presented by Anastenarides, too. But this time, there
are also mimes who create the troupe: the King, the Prince,
the Halter maker, the Monk, the Bride, the decrepit woman
with the premature baby, the Gipsies with the bear and
the Guards (Kouroutzides). After the troupe has visited
all the village, the inhabitants gather in the square,
where two important events take place: the preparation
of a symbolic field for the sowing and the scene of the
Monk's death and resurrection. When the Monk?s resurrection
is announced, the troupe starts dancing in a circle, round
the symbolic field, with the King as the leader of the
dance. After the end of the dance an Anastenaris gives
his blessing to the people who start leaving. This Thracian
religious festival, also includes elements of the ancient
Dionyssian Rituals.
