May Day: Each first day of May the «Festival of Pepper» is celebrated in southeastern Evia. The roots of this custom go back to the ancient years, when residents asked Zeus to bring rain, so that their crops would make fruit. Nowadays they dress a young girl that they call “Piperia” (“Pepper Girl”), with spring flowers and take her to nearby villages, along with other girls. In other villages they dress a young boy that they call “Piperos” (“Pepper Boy”), the husband of “Piperia”. The escorts of Piperia and Piperos sing a hymn to the couple and Prophet Elias, in order to bring rain in their place.
