Of St. Georgiou, who is the patron saint of the island, after the liturgy, the icon is taken around. The "celebrant", an islander bound to Agios, goes around the island holding the icon in his hands. The roads through which he passes are strewn with rose petals, while all the boats of the island accompany him sailing along the coast. The procession ends at the village church, where food (boiled and roasted lamb) and drinks are offered to all present. In the evening the feast continues in the taverns of the island. The Holy Week in Koufonisi offers plenty of excitement but also rich island color. On Good Friday, the harbor is illuminated from one end to the other with torches, while at the time of the Resurrection the whole island is lit up by sparklers.
On the last Saturday of June, the fisherman's festival takes place where delicious seafood and wine are offered to everyone.
Dance groups take part in the celebration while the instruments take over to stir up the crowd. An island feast takes place on July 20, the feast of the Prophet Ilias, but also on the fifteenth of August, when by boats, starting at seven in the morning, the entire island travels to Kato Koufonissi to worship in the church of Panagia there. After the liturgy there is a meal - offering by the residents (fish, pancakes, lamb, goat). On the way back, there is a speed race between the boats, who will be able to enter the port first. Winners and losers exchange treats in the evening at the festival to the sound of violins. A small local celebration, an occasion for feasting and dancing, is also that of Agios Nikolaos, on December 6.
CUSTOMS
In the past, until the beginning of the 20th century, the system of family and inheritance law that prevailed on the island, as in most islands of the Cyclades, contributed to the prevalence of the single-family house as the most common form of popular housing. According to this, the house together with all the household, as well as the entire property of the mother, was intended to be given as a dowry to the first daughter. The paternal property was intended either for the second-born daughter or for the first-born son. At the same time, the family was obliged to build houses for the rest of its daughters, while the sons went as in-laws.
So, after the marriage of the first daughter, the family moved to another house. He lived there until the marriage of the last daughter, when it was given to her and the parents fled to a small house they had built especially for their old age, the so-called gerontomori. After the death of the parents, the old age was usually shared indivisible between the siblings.
