The Varnabas Bread Museum was in the Prefecture of Kavala last week, following an invitation. One hundred (100) exhibits of four hundred and fifty (450) embroidered bread were presented in the foyer of the Prefectural Government of Kavala and in collaboration with the Association of Friends of Arts and Letters of Kavala, hundreds of visitors enjoyed the exhibition for three days.
Both the President of the Folklore Society of Varnava, Mrs. Milea Pappa, and the head of the bread museum, Mrs. Anastasia Mexi-Mantzou, explained the value, importance and cultural characteristics of these special breads. Breads that, depending on their designs, are classified according to the respective phases and emotions of human life (baptism, engagement, marriage) as well as breads of the holidays of the year (Christmas, New Year, Lent, Easter), etc.
The exhibition was visited by municipal and prefectural councillors of the prefecture, associations such as the association of Asia Minor Prefecture of Kavala “Memory of Asia Minor” and the Lyceum of Greek Women of Kavala, which gave a cheerful note to the opening of the exhibition – dancing traditional dances – as well as the troupe of Anna Vagena.
