In Ponto, the parcharias are… feminine, and have the deisa and the eudia. Intertwined with rural life, in the mountainous and richly wooded plateaus where people and animals spend their summers, the feminine presence is strong – the parcharomaniacs have assumed mythical proportions.
The “title” was usually granted to the most experienced, the one who knew how to best perform all livestock tasks and at the same time was a tough and wise leader.
Furthermore, the paracharomana has been associated with the virtuous “hostess”. This hospitality was received by those who visited the parish of Agios Dimitrios Kozani last Sunday, at “Laleman ti parharomanas”.
