A wedding at Ayios Georgios
Tapers down eight long tables, and a pair of pillars either side of the church door.

A christening in the old town
One tall candle for the day, and eighty small ones for the family to carry home.
One tall candle for the child, wound with a ribbon the family had kept from her mother's own christening, and eighty small ones for everybody to carry home through the old town.
The chapel is small and its light is low, so nothing we made was scented and nothing stood taller than the icons. The favours went out on a tray by the door, which is the last thing anybody touches on the way out and the first thing they find at home.
