Trata er en båt som den du ser her oppe, - en båt som aldri vil flyte på vannet. Tok dette fotoet på veien hjem etter å ha gått tur med mors hund og spist lunch med dem. Gutta her var i godt humør men ikke akkurat varme, tror jeg. Den første søndagen etter Tziknopempti er det guttas Trata - gutter rundt 10 - 15 år. Mange forskjellige grupper laver en trata. De har jobbet lenge med båten sin, den skal jo ha motor som helst skal sote noe fryktelig. Gutta soter seg ofte i ansiktene også. "ee tRaTA" is an old tradition on Skopelos. Skopelos was a big seafarer nation. Trata is a boat as you see it up here, - a boat that never will float. Took this photo today Sunday on my way home after walking mums dog and lunching with them. The boys here were in good mood, but I am sure they were not warm! The first Sunday after Tziknopempti is the day of the young boys - around 10 - 15 years old. Many groups makes their trata. They have worked a long time on the project, and it has to have a kind of motor who should sot a lot! The boys often sots their faces also. η Τυροκυριακή Ostesøndag - Cheese Sunday T   Found on the net about the; Trata From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Trata is a traditional commemorative dance performed every two years in Megara in Attica, Greece. On the Tuesday following Easter in every alternate year, the women of Megara take part the traditional dance known as the Trata on the open space before the tiny church known as Saint John the Dancer. It is popularly believed to commemorate the building of this chapel during a single day during the years of Ottoman rule over Greece. To prevent the Turks from profiting from a spring on the site, which had the effect of making the women who drank from it very fertile, local people decided to secure it inside a church building, but they needed the permission of the Turkish authorities to do so. By a clever stratagem they were able to convince the pasha in Corinth to allow them to build a small chapel, but only if the work could be completed within a single day. They told him that an evil djinn inhabited the spring. The pasha of Corinth did not want the inhabitants of his area troubled by evil spirits, and he thought that building a chapel over it would be sufficient to ensure that it would remain trapped inside.  But he feared that if the other Muslims of the area heard that the Christians were building a new chapel they would be outraged, and this would itself cause him a lot of trouble. So he warned the Christians that if they took longer than a single day to build it, they would lose their heads. In this way, he would ensure that the building would be finished before anyone could complain to him about it. The Christians of the neighborhood gathered together all their resources, and starting at dawn they succeeded in completing the building of the chapel in a single day. The famous dance, the Trata, is said to celebrate their success. However, folklorists note that the movements of this dance, which mimic the hauling in of fishing nets, seem to indicate that it is probably a very ancient dance, much older than the Ottoman period, and was originally performed to ensure success of the fishermen. Trata Arvanitiki  A women's dance from Megara, just west of Athens on the mainland. Megara has much contact with the surrounding islands and its culture is much more like the islands than the mainland.  "Trata" refers to a type of fishing boat. The most famous version of this dance is in 2/4 time and is done by the women of Megara only at Easter time. At least the three other versions exist, some in 7/8. The handhold is crisscross, but unlike the Leriko, each dancer has one arm over and one under.    η τράτα fiskebåt, en dans fishingboat, a dance ***** YouTube Vidaki; H Trata ***** Dagens sitat; Todays quote; "I kind of like things slightly out of tune. It makes me feel... intoxicated almost... but in a good way. Like I'm at a carnival in a dream." Christine Anderson "Jeg liker ting litt ustemt. Det får meg til å føle... nesten beruset... men på en god måte. Som om jeg er i et karneval i mine drømmer."   HostGator.com Web Hosting  Home         Back         Next   skopelitissa@live.no  © Skopelítissa.com 2003 - 2012
