Water fountain on Thasos Island, Northern Greece, Theologos village
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Water fountain on Thasos Island, Northern Greece, in Theologos village, with a plaque naming Kostas and Eleni Tsomou. On the frontal shelf, there is a potential ritual deposition of a flower for the fountain fairies. Reference on the topic: Papahagi, Pericle, and Gr G. Tocilescu. "Din literatura poporană a Aromânilor." (1900). p. 240.
"Aromanians in Macedonia have a special respect for fountains. Most have a small stone wall, in which there is a 'dulapi' [Aromanian for shelf], a small square opening made in the wall, where all those who drink water from there must deposit a small gift consisting of a thread from their coat, or an un-smelled flower, or a branch, a pebble, etc. The reason for this is the belief that they may be harmed by the fairies or other supernatural beings guarding fountains." |
