Mystery 100 Sacred Songs - Halloween – “These days have it!”. The Greek Rite of Spring
project
Description
The Mystery 100 Sacred Songs was a series of events that was focused on traditional events and rituals of the Greek music and dance tradition and lasted from February 2023 to December 2023.
Part of the Mystery 100 Sacred Songs were the pandemic festivities of the cycle “Sacred Songs” held on Sunday, February 12 at the Eleourgiki Industrial Complex, that began with the songs and dances of the Greek Carnival. “These days have it!.. The Greek Rite of Spring” was the title of the Halloween celebration, with traditional disguises, bells and satirical songs and dances from all regions of Hellenism. The tone was set by the “Koundunatoi” and “Glentistades” from the Association of Mesotopites of Lesbos “I Anagennisi”, the Company of Dimitris Kotsikas, the traditional Macedonian brass band and the singers Spyros Brebos and Avgerini Gatsi. Rituals in the cycle of Life covered the human journey “from cradle to death”: birth, childhood, love-marriage, estrangement, death, while the events in the cycle of Time and Vegetation “homeopathically” accompanied agricultural occupations through symbolic acts-customs with the widespread participation of the community.
