St George's Day Pilgrimage

Today, we took all the Mistral guests and Gialamarakis family to the tip of Rotherpou Peninsular to take part in a traditional festival to celebrate the day of Agios Georgios.  This is a special day when shepherds bring their sheep to be blessed hoping to ensure healthy flocks and a prosperous year.  In return, the shepherds distribute free sheep's milk.

It is also tradition to make a wreath of wild flowers to "catch" May.  The wreath is hung over the doorway to dry the flowers until the month of June when they are burned in the street and everyone jumps over the fire.
