 The
Community Council of Mari has paid great attention to the cultural
matters of the community. It plays a leading role in organising the
Cultural Festival in collaboration with the Mari Cultural Movement
that takes place -every year -on the 17th of July, honouring the memory
of St. Marina. Cypriot dances, Greek and Foreign folk-dance groups,
satire, poetry and rhyme recitals are presented in this Festival.
Every Easter Monday traditional games are organised at the church's precinct and the community park. Free meals, drinks, and red Easter eggs are offered during Easter celebrations.
The Community Council -in collaboration with the Blood Bank -organises blood donation events twice a year. Every 14th of October, the global day for
women farmers/grangers, the "Sunday of the Pastoral Woman".
The purpose of this event is for the younger generations to be acquainted
with country life. The making of traditional foods like "halloumi",
bread, "soutzoukos" (must-jelly & nut sweet), and
other tasty products is presented. |
Every
year the community council's excursion to various monasteries and
churches of Cyprus is organised. All the inhabitants of the community
participate in this excursion.
