The custom of “Genitsaroi and Boules” of Naoussa, Greece
The custom “Genitsaroi and Boules” is a very old custom of Naoussa town of North Greece, which takes place every year at the days of the early spring. It is difficult now for us to find its roots, as in most of our customs. But all the elements (symbols, masks, etc) lead us to the old times to the worship of the ancient god Dionysus and the days of the ancient fest “anthestiria” which means flowerings).
