Description

Spring and autumn equinox, Easter and Adonis festivals, summer solstice with the bonfires of St. John and mysterious folk events.

Myths and legends of the lords of snow and winter. Saint Basil and Santa Claus. The celebration and customs of the winter solstice and Christmas. The pages of the book bring to life the birthday rituals of humans and gods. Ancient festivals, mysterious worship, and the transition of equinoxes. Carols and the Twelve Days, as well as all the rituals that surround it (pig slaughter, Christmas tree, demons, kallikantzari). The definition of New Year's Day, where all New Year's customs and traditions are summarized, from the onion peeling to the king's pie, but also the ethnology of the Epiphany celebration. The awe-inspiring celebration, the Lights, with the renewal and blessing of the waters, but also the regeneration of the World and time, which is also achieved in the summer solstice, as well as in the corresponding equinoxes. Passport and celebratory ceremonies and the biological cycle of the year.
All presented through the prism of Astronomy but also through the interrelation of ancient pagan customs with the corresponding Christian ones.
