EYCH 2018 "The Custom of May" 30 April 2018

​EYCH 2018  «The Custom of May»  30 April  2018

The ancient and unique custom of The May, is still revived on the main road of the city of Megara, on the eve of the first of May. The engaged bride accompanied by her girlfriends, dressed in traditional local attire, the "katifenia", along with a little boy who holds a jug of red wine, pass through the main street of the city to reach the groom's home where his relatives await. The bride and another girl hold a large wreath of flowers, the May. The other girls hold a basket with a bun, embroidered with traditional motifs, Easter biscuits and painted eggs, which the bride delivers to the mother-in-law. The father-in-law is offered the jug of wine and the wreath is delivered to the groom, who hangs it over the main entrance of the house.
