Sunday in a small village
Greece
small,remote and mountainous village
Samarina
Samarina is located on an eastern spur of Mount Smolikas, the highest of the Pindus range and the second-highest mountain in all of Greece. At an altitude of 1380–1515 meters it is considered one of the highest villages in Greece and also one of the highest in the Balkans;
Samarina is the most famous of all the Aromanian (Vlach) villages of the Pindus and the inhabitants are fiercely proud of their heritage and traditions. Every summer on August 15, on the feast of the Dormition of the Virgin, Samarinans from all over the world assemble on their ancestral village to celebrate. There, on the main square outside the Great Church, they perform the "Great Dance"
The present series of pictures depicts an ordinary Sunday in summer when the population of the village significantly increases.
