In many towns and villages across Cyprus, the name-days of saints are big occasions that merit equally big celebrations. Local churches and monasteries become a hive of activity on the eve of the saint’s day with religious services and ceremonies taking place on the day itself. Agia Irini Day is celebrated in Perivolia Village in Larnaca and the day is marked with a procession and a great feast.
