Today, ritual kneading and baking of bread takes place. The kneading of the festive bread begins with a prayer for blessing, it is decorated with dough sculptures that represent everyday activities and it is taken to the church with gratitude to the Mother of God.
In "Panagia" religious and folk tradition are intertwined.
