About Midwife's / Women's Day in Greece
Women , European Countries
Ends: Jan 08, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
The Greeks know how to make a celebration fun. The Day of Agia Domnikes, Midwife's or Women's Day in Greece, is an annual celebration for women of childbearing age. Women own the town and spend the day dining and pampering themselves. Men are required to care for the children and housekeep for the day. In some smaller villages, men caught outside face dousing with a bucket of cold water and are promptly ordered home for the rest of the day.
As with many traditions, this day originates in the Bible. It's tied to Saint Agia Domnikes, the midwife believed to have helped the Panagia with the birth of Jesus Christ. Christ's baptism is celebrated on Epiphany in Greece, and the Day of Agia Domnikes occurs two days later. The water ritual evolved from the practice of pouring out water in preparation for giving birth.
In past eras, women kissed a sausage or leek and presented gifts to the ceremonial midwife. Today they eat the sausage, drink wine, and soak wandering men in cold water. What fun!
