Post subject: | Public Holiday..just a reminder |
Just a reminder that the coming weekend is a holiday weekend (Kataklysmos) and Monday is a public holiday. Not sure if the usual activities will happen at Paphos Harbour Monday, June 21 Orthodox Whitsun / Pentecost / Kataklysmos Pentecost (Greek word which means 'fiftieth) Kataklysmos (50 days after Greek Easter) Kataklysmos is a Greek Orthodox festival with strong pagan roots focusing primarily on water, Kataklysmos or Festival of the Flood marks the day of the Holy Spirit. In Cyprus, the celebrations also hark back to the Old Testament tale of Noah’s Ark, the Greek myth of Deukalion and ancient ceremonies in honour of Aphrodite and Adonis |
