Celebrate the customs of a traditional Cypriot wedding
June 7, 2019
Along with the festivals, concerts and outdoor events that the summer season brings with it, there’s one more type of event that blooms during this time of year; weddings. Everybody knows it, May to September is a high season for weddings and probably many of you have got your calendars already marked out with them.
Attempting to stay close to tradition, many weddings still include customs that Cypriots back in the day performed such as dressing the bride and groom while violins play and writing the names of single ladies on the bride’s right shoe. Yet how well do you really know Cypriot traditional weddings? Folklore Group Lygeri of SEK Nicosia-Kyrenia is putting on a performance to show you.
