The ritual of Anastenari (Fire walkers)...
Fire walking takes place in five places of the Northern Greece on the day celebrating Sts Constantine and Helen. Fire walkers are gathered in theHall (called Konaki) where the icons and holly relics are kept. Under the music of the drum, the lyra and the back pipe they are working themselves up and at the night dance on the fire as an ultimate test of their faith to the saints...
