Anastenaria, Lagkadas, Thessaloniki / Αναστενάρια, Λαγκαδάς Θεσσαλονίκης
Anastenaria in honor of Saint Euthymius, a traditional fire-walking ritual held in the town of Lagkadas, 20km northeast of Thessaloniki, Greece on January 20, 2020. The Anastenaria is a traditional barefoot fire-walking ritual with ecstatic dance performed three times a year in some villages in Northern Greece and Southern Bulgaria. The communities which celebrate this ritual are descended from refugees who entered Greece from Eastern Thrace following the Balkan Wars of 1911–12 and the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923. / Αναστενάρια προς τιμήν του Αγίου Ευθυμίου στον Λαγκαδά Θεσσαλονίκης στις 20 Ιανουαρίου 2020.
