    Description

    The greatest activity of the events in Trikeri is presented during Easter, when a traditional feast is realized at the central square of the village, reaching its best moment on Friday after Easter, when Zoodohos Pigi is celebrated (local holiday), as in the afternoon the custom demands that the dance start by the Women dressed in the official traditional costume of the village. Later, the feast widens and is transferred to the other square of the village.

    Tips

    Other occasions when the traditional costume can be seen are:

    • On Palm Sunday in the morning at church, at the cathedral of the island, Aghia Triada church, the newly wedded of the year come to pick the palms.
    • At Resurrection night the engaged girls of the village, wearing the traditional costume, hold a big white candle like the one seen in the weddings.
    • Every May Day there is an equivalent event with the one of Easter Friday, when the girls of the village dance wearing the same costume and holding flowers, with a difference that the dance starts at the square. Up to this day traditional songs owing to this day are saved, dedicated to the spring, the flowers blossom, the Women of Trikeri and so on.

     

    Traditional costume:

    It is worth admiring the traditional costume of Trikeri. It is hand made with a golden thread and elaborate embroideries, a piece of art that keeps a long history and passes from generation to generation.
