Every year in Amynteo, Greece, the Pontic tradition of memorial candles is revived to honor the memory of the deceased. Katarina Mavridou, president of the local Pontic association, emphasizes the importance of adhering to this custom. She explains how candles are lit in memory of loved ones, a practice that was once common in Pontus on the eve of Epiphany. The association aims to teach these traditions to the younger generation, as they are at risk of being forgotten.
